Tamim Bayoumi is the first to explain how the Euro crisis and U.S. housing crash were, in fact, parasitically intertwined. Starting in the 1980s, Bayoumi outlines the cumulative policy errors that undermined the stability of both the European and U.S. financial sectors, highlighting the catalytic role played by European mega banks that exploited lax regulation to expand into the U.S. market and financed unsustainable bubbles on both continents. U.S. banks increasingly sold sub-par loans to under-regulated European and U.S. shadow banks and, when the bubbles burst, the losses whipsawed back to the core of the European banking system. A much-needed, fresh look at the origins of the crisis, Bayoumi’s analysis concludes that policy makers are ignorant of what still needs to be done both to complete the cleanup and to prevent future crises. aBanking lawvFinancial crisesvFinancial services industryzUnited StateszEurope 2ddccBK 00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2020-06-29eOPg1923.15i2020-06-11l0o338.542 BAY-Up50902r2020-07-13 00:00:00v2634.45w2020-06-11yBK
