This is not your father’s financial system. Jimmy Stewart, the
trustworthy, honest banker in the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, is

and our tax dollars.

economist, describes in lively, humorous, simple, but also deadly
serious terms the big con underlying the big game?the web of
interconnected financial, political, and regulatory malfeasance
that culminated in financial meltdown and brought us to our
economic knees. But it also proposes an amazingly simply
solution?Limited Purpose Banking to make Wall Street safe for Main
Street.

financial disaster for good
