摘要

As their banking crisis approaches Japanese proportions, Americans can take comfort from the fact that their political culture is more capable of finding a solution. Or can they? Today's anti-banker backlash bears a striking resemblance to the voter outrage that stymied efforts to fix Japan's banking system in the 1990s. Indeed, an enduring lesson of financial crises is how political constraints interfere with economically efficient solutions.rnFor example, America's Treasury and the Federal Reserve began examining options to use public money to buy up illiquid mortgage assets and to inject capital into financial institutions shortly after rescuing Bear Stearns, a failing investment bank, in March 2008. But it was another six months before they acted on those plans. "There was no way we could go to Congress without the American people understanding we faced a crisis," says Henry Paulson, the treasury secretary at the time.
