Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

The savings and loan (S&L) crisis of the 1980s led to the failure of 747 S&L institutions known as "thrifts." The crisis ultimately cost around $160.1 billion, approximately $124.6 billion of which was paid for by the U.S. government via a bailout.

The deregulation of S&Ls gave them many of the capabilities of banks - including the choice of being a state or federal charter - without a bank's regulations. Immediately after deregulation, state-chartered thrifts rushed to become federally chartered. In response, California and Texas changed their regulations to be similar to federal regulations.

In an effort to take advantage of a real estate boom and high interest rates, many S&Ls lent vast sums of money to risky ventures that thrifts were often not qualified to assess. L. William Seidman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation stated, "The banking problems of the '80s and '90s came primarily, but not exclusively, from unsound real estate lending."

The Savings and Loan Crisis: Loss of Public Trust and the Federal Bailout, 1989-1993 chronicles a turbulent economic era. Primary source materials cover congressional attempts to resolve the problem, seizure of insolvent thrifts, prosecution of S&L management for fraudulent lending practices, implementation of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, and congressional support for a bailout.
