Summary:

Discusses economic issues raised by "too big to fail" (TBTF) concept that the disorderly failure of a large firm would cause widespread disruptions in financial markets that could not easily be contained. Reviews historical experience with TBTF before and during recent financial crisis, analyzes broad policy options, and highlights policy changes made by relevant provisions of P.L. 111-203, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
