Social Issues of Today - An Economic Perspective, "All Patched Up: Is Our Financial System Now Structurally Sound?" by Yaniv Ben-Ami

Think of the U.S. financial system as a physical structure, like a bridge, that has to be able to carry the load of peak traffic. Every day, savers rely on crossing the bridge to make progress towards their retirement goals. Is the bridge structurally sound? This bridge partially collapsed, fairly recently, and renovation work has just concluded. So before we go on, we should revisit the bridge's structural points of weakness and examine the quality of the work. Is it safe now? Did we fix it?
