A Break Down of the Bailout

Stephen Bainbridge, Ken Taymor & John P. Hunt

Date: 02/18/2010
Duration: 0:55
Description:
As the economy crumbled in 2008, the government intervened to “save”
financial institutions that were “too big to fail.”  This unprecedented
action generated a multitude of legal, economic, and political
questions; perhaps none more important than “will it work?” With the
decision to intervene behind us, it is now time to evaluate the effects on law, business, and the economy as a whole.

Panelists include Stephen Bainbridge (UCLA Law), Ken Taymor (BCLB), and John P. Hunt (Davis Law).
