The need to protect depositors of large banks, and the implications for powers and ownership
Randall, Richard E. (1990-09)
Three fundamental and interconnected issues should be carefully considered before making any decisions on altering the federal safety net or the structure of the U.S. banking system.

The second is whether the government should handle the orderly resolution of large bank failures in such a way that uninsured depositors and other bank creditors are protected.
