"This book doesn't focus on the arcane and mind-numbing details of capital, liquidity, and the other technical parts of a bank regulator's job. Instead, it puts human faces on the causes and effects of financial crises. These are personal stories of real people grappling with complicated issues while under enormous pressure, of individuals trying to ensure that they and others are treated fairly by our government, and of individuals misusing the system to serve their personal interests."
—From the Introduction
THE REAL-LIFE PERSONAL STORIES OF THE CHAOS SURROUNDING BANK FAILURES AND HOW THE FDIC RESPONDED
John Bovenzi spent almost three decades as a bank regulator at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). During his career he worked for ten FDIC chairmen and with many other senior government officials. Inside the FDIC offers a compelling look into the agency that is all too often overlooked by the media. Discover why the FDIC emerged as a major and independent force that impacts the U.S. financial markets and how ten very different FDIC chairmen helped shape the agency and our regulatory system.
