Industry luminary Robert Pozen offers his insights on the future
of U.S. finance
The recent credit crisis and the resulting bailout program are
unprecedented events in the financial industry. While it’s
important to understand what got us here, it’s even more important
to consider how we should get out. While there is little question
that immediate action was required to stabilize the situation, it
is now time to look for a long-term plan to reform the United
States financial industry.
That is where Bob Pozen comes in. Perhaps more than anyone in
the industry, Pozen commands the respect and attention of the
public and private sector. In this timely guide, he outlines his
vision for the new financial future and provides actionable advice
along the way. To Pozen, there are four high-priority problems that
must be addressed, and this book puts them in perspective
* Analyzes alternative models for government stakes in banks
* Recommends a new board structure for large financial
institutions
* Examines the importance of broader Fed jurisdiction over
systemic risks
* Proposes a way to revive the securitization of loans
With Too Big to Save, you’ll learn the likely future of
the finance industry and understand why changes have to be
made.
