If they don’t sleep at the wheel again, sure they are, but if they do, you’ll have no banks left. It depends on behaviour.

It also depends on how much control and supervision the Federal Reserve is going to have over the banks.
If you’re asking me could this ever happen again, you bet – if people go back to their old habits.
