Banking Wars is the inside story of the making of banking legislation and regulation during a period of massive change in the laws governing our financial system, from the S&L crisis of the 1980s through the Financial Crisis of 2008-2009, as told by the banking industry’s top lobbyist during that period. Between those two crises, bills were enacted for the first time to allow banks to branch across state lines and to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act and allow banking institutions to offer all financial services. It is also a story of how lobbying really works, as told by someone who for twenty-five years was on every list of Washington’s top lobbyists.
