The need for a radical overhaul of the regulation and supervision of financial markets has been acknowledged in all advanced economies. And yet, there is still a line of reasoning which argues that the main source of the current financial crisis is the cheap money of the past, which would have caused large global imbalances as well. But another, that I share, is that something wrong has been occurring with overall financial intermediation in recent decades. This is like saying that structure has been no less important in derailing economies than misconceived policies and unavoidable cyclical dynamics.
