Recommendation
In 2008, Lehman Brothers had not planned for a worst-case scenario, because it assumed that regulators would step in to prevent its bankruptcy. Therein lay the problem, according to professor David Skeel in this thought-provoking reconsideration of Lehman’s role in the financial crisis. While the financial system looks better prepared today to weather future tumult, market expectations about potential government intervention remain consequential. This intriguing article makes an important contribution to policy debates on pending laws for distressed bank resolutions.
