  • Financial Innovation, Leverage, Bubbles and the Distribution of Income
    2010-2011 FINANCIAL INNOVATION & DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME 225 FINANCIAL INNOVATION, LEVERAGE, BUBBLES AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME MARGARET M. BLAIR* I. Introduction Although Congress has passed and the President has signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, one of the most important problems facing regulators is scarcely addressed in the bill, leaving it to regulators to address as they work out the details of a new regulatory scheme. This is that financial innovation has made it possible for financial firms to utilize vastly too much “leverage”—to supply too much credit to others and to borrow too much in order to provide this credit. The effect has been a financial system in the U.S. (and globally as well) that is too large in several senses: it uses too much debt, it creates too much credit, it thereby fuels asset bubbles that expose the rest of the economy to too much risk and its employees and investors are paid too much because they are generally paid for appearing to add value, even if the value later evaporates when the bubbles burst. This assertion challenges the pre-financial crisis conven- tional view that the growth and innovativeness of the financial sector unequivocally improve the efficiency with which investors save and capital is aggregated and deployed to finance productive investment,1 * Professor of Law and Milton R. Underwood Chair in Free Enterprise, Vanderbilt University Law School. The first draft of this article was developed for a con- ference of the Tobin Project in May 2010.
