  2. “The bailouts have become generally unpopular, in no small part because many banks seem to still view themselves as masters of the universe.

  14. “I suggest that the problem with SIFIs [systemically important financial institutions] is they are fundamentally inconsistent with capitalism. They are inherently destabilizing to global markets and detrimental to world growth.
