    FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ST. LOUIS ECONOMIC EDUCATION The Panic of 1907: J.P. Morgan and the Money Trust Lesson Author Mary Fuchs Standards and Benchmarks (see page 47) Lesson Description The Panic of 1907 was a financial crisis set off by a series of bad banking decisions and a frenzy of withdrawals caused by public distrust of the banking system. J.P. Morgan, along with other wealthy Wall Street bankers, loaned their own funds to save the coun- try from a severe financial crisis.

  • During the Past Two Decades, the U.S. Housing Finance System Experienced Changes of a Magnitude Unseen Since the New Deal Era
    FOREWORD During the past two decades, the U.S. housing finance system experienced changes of a magnitude unseen since the New Deal era. In the 1980s, the primary mortgage market restructured and consolidated as a result of the savings and loan crisis, adjustable-rate mortgages became widely available, and the secondary mortgage market grew rapidly. The 1990s saw continued industry consolidation, as well as significant technological de- velopments in mortgage finance. In addition, the past decade was a time of considerable innovation in affordable mortgage lending, part of a growing movement to connect his- torically underserved households and communities to the mainstream housing finance system. This volume examines this movement through case studies of organizations recognized by their peers as leaders in expanding homeownership opportunities. In an extension of their earlier research for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the authors describe the efforts of a broad cross section of industry participants, including small and large lenders, nonprofit community-based organizations (CBOs), and lending consortia. They document a wide range of strategies—in the areas of management, out- reach, borrower qualification, and homeowner retention—designed to expand and sus- tain homeownership among lower-income and minority households. The case studies illustrate three notable aspects of recent efforts to extend the reach of homeownership. First, they demonstrate that leaders in the mortgage finance industry view historically underserved populations and communities as viable business markets rather than regulatory burdens, and back this perspective with action. Second, the stud- ies show the vital role that partnership plays in expanding opportunity.

  • The Japanese Economy During the Interwar Period
    20092009--JE--21 The Japanese Economy during the Interwar Period: 両大戦間期Instabilityの日本における恐慌と政策対応 in the Financial System and ― 金融システム問題と世界恐慌への対応を中心にthe Impact of the World Depression ― Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies 金融研究所 鎮目雅人 Masato Shizume 2009 年 4 月 May 2009 The Japanese economy during the interwar period faced chronic crises. Among them, the Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 and the Showa Depression of 1930-31 marked turning points. The Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 was the consequence of persistent financial instability because of the incomplete restructuring in the business sector and postponements in the disposal of bad loans by financial institutions. The crisis brought reforms in the financial sector through large-scale injections of public funds and the amalgamation of banks. The Showa Depression of 1930-31 was caused by the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse, which had been intensified in Japan by the return to the Gold Standard at the old parity. Japan escaped from the Great Depression earlier than most other countries through a series of macroeconomic stimulus measures initiated by Korekiyo Takahashi, a veteran Finance Minister who resumed office in December 1931. Takahashi instituted comprehensive macroeconomic policy measures, including exchange rate, fiscal, and monetary adjustments. At the same time, the Gold Standard, which had been governing Japan’s fiscal policy, collapsed in the wake of the British departure from it in September 1931. Then, Japan introduced a mechanism by which the government could receive easy credit from the central bank without establishing other institutional measures to govern its fiscal policy. This course of events resulted in an eventual loss of fiscal discipline.

  • Riders on the Storm
    But………… Riders on the storm November 21, 2012: 11:25 AM ET Wells Fargo avoided the reckless tactics of other banks and quietly built a powerhouse in the West. Now its takeover of Wachovia makes it a national force, but how much toxic waste is aboard the stagecoach? By Adam Lashinsky This story is from the May 4, 2009 issue of Fortune. It is the full text of an article excerpted in Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything, 1966-2012, a Fortune Magazine book, collected and expanded by Carol Loomis. Pardners: Stumpf, with strongbox, took over as CEO last year, succeeding Kovacevich, who built the empire and plans to retire as chairman. FORTUNE -- Dick Kovacevich ought to be happy. The sun is shining in San Francisco on an early April morning, shares of Wells Fargo, where Kovacevich is chairman of the board, have almost doubled in a month, and Wells appears to have survived the worst of the banking crisis with its reputation intact (so far). Yet Kovacevich, at 65 a pugnacious and famously outspoken banker, is peeved, to put it mildly. He's miffed at short-sellers who have hammered Wells Fargo as if it were one of those troubled-asset repositories. He bemoans the media for failing to recognize Wells Fargo's achievements. Most of all, he's seething with anger at Washington for all sorts of bad decisions, from making a show of big-bank stress tests (which he has publicly The Brooklyn Investor Wells Fargo Page 1 called "asinine") to giving him exactly one hour to accept a $25 billion investment in October from the controversial Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
