PERHAPS THE MOST remarkable news from the banking industry during the past 18 months was that no generalized disaster arose. Many observers had expected a banking crisis similar to the last major one in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It hasn’t materialized. Banks in the industrialized world do not appear to face imminent collapse, or even a more remote one. For the first time in recent memory, a corporate credit crisis did not lead to a banking crisis.
