Why Financial Reform is Stalled

Why Financial Reform is Stalled – Came across this excellent article today, by Peter J. Wallison. In case you haven’t seen it, click here.

In a nutshell, he criticizes the standard explanation of political gridlock (an hypothesis that does not square well with the fact of resistance on both sides of the aisle in Congress).
