Fisch B: Die Too Big To Fail-Doktrin

Die Too Big To Fail-Doktrin

Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

This book analyses the legal regimes governing bank crisis management in the EU, UK, and US, discussing the different procedures and tools available as well as the regulatory architecture and the authorities involved. Building on a broad working definition of 'bank crisis management' and referring to several cases, the book explores the techniques and approaches employed by the authorities to deal with troubled banks on both sides of the Atlantic. The legal analysis distinguishes between procedures and tools aimed at liquidating the bank in crisis vis-à-vis those aimed at restructuring. In this regard, attention is paid to the rules allowing for the use of public money in handling banks in trouble as well as to the role that deposit insurance schemes can play. Considerations on the impact on banks of the current crisis provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic are advanced, primarily focusing on the expected surge of non-performing loans as well as on ways to effectively manage these assets. The book approaches these issues from a comparative law perspective, providing law and economics considerations and focusing on strengths and drawbacks of the rules currently in force. The book advances policy considerations as well as reform proposals aiming at enhancing the legal regimes in force, with particular reference to the Consultation promoted in 2021 by the European Commission on the adoption of a new bank crisis management and deposit insurance framework in the Union.

A Transatlantic Perspective

International Bank Crisis Management

"This is an eye-opening, must-read blockbuster of a book showing how banks' money and power corrupts Washington and our financial system. Compellingly and insightfully connecting the dots, Gerald Epstein details how the bankers' club is also a literal club, beating down opposition and hardworking Americans, and concludes with a visionary plan for how the system can be changed to benefit all Americans."—Dennis M. Kelleher, President and CEO, Better Markets "Busting the Bankers' Club&nbsp;reminds us that the United States has still not fixed the weaknesses in its banking system to prevent financial meltdowns. Epstein exposes why the fault lines are still there and what we can do to prepare for the next disaster when no amount of regulation is sufficient."—Jennifer Taub, author of&nbsp;Big Dirty Money&nbsp;and host of the podcast Booked Up with Jen Taub "An essential guide to all that's gone so deeply wrong in the US financial sector. 'Roaring finance' has destroyed the economy and upended the lives of working people (and too often distorted the priorities of those who represent them). A 'bankers' club' now threatens democracy by amplifying the power of Wall Street. Epstein offers a concrete road map for bold yet achievable strategies to reclaim finance for the social good."—Ilene Grabel, author of&nbsp;When Things Don’t Fall Apart: Global Financial Governance and Developmental Finance in an Age of Productive Incoherence "Busting the Bankers’ Club&nbsp;is a revealing look behind the curtain of the banking industry’s various crises and failures. Instead of focusing on the policies or practices that lead to such disparate economic outcomes in our economy, Epstein hones in on the network of people, from bankers to lobbyists to academic economists, who tightly control the credit and capital structure that rightfully belongs to the people. Epstein’s account correctly identifies an often-overlooked source of unfairness and also points the way forward through a more democratic and just banking system run for and on behalf of the people. This book is a must-read for students of finance and activists alike, written by a foremost scholar in the field. The book is timely, necessary, and enlightening."—Mehrsa Baradaran, Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine "Gerald Epstein's Busting the Bankers' Club is an indispensable guide to how the financial elite made banking a self-serving and unstable cartel, and how to turn banking back into the servant of the real economy rather than the master."—Robert Kuttner, coeditor of&nbsp;The American Prospect&nbsp;and Professor of Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University "Read this book before the bankers get it banned. In lucid and accessible prose, Epstein tells us what’s wrong with the bankers’ club and what should be done to bust it apart and build finance that works for the rest of us."—Fred Block, Research Professor of Sociology, University of California, Davis

Praise for THE CHINA BUSINESS CONUNDRUM "I couldn't put down this engrossing tale of Chinese government partners manipulating and milking SVB to create local competitors. While most victims of this all-too-common swindle quietly slink away, Ken Wilcox has the humility and moxie to go public with this cautionary tale." --JAMES McGREGOR, author of One Billion Customers "This account of establishing a bank for start-ups in China simply gallops along with twists and turns and surprises. It's a salutary tale of how Western assumptions, hopes, and expectations prime companies for failure in the Chinese context. I'm giving copies to all my CEOs, past and present." --FELDA HARDYMON, MBA Class of 1975 Professor of Management Practice at Harvard Business School, emeritus; Partner emeritus, Bessemer Venture Partners "The inside story of how Silicon Valley Bank stumbled in China." -- DAVID BARBOZA, co-founder of The Wire: China, former two-time Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist "Ken Wilcox is uniquely qualified to offer insights on doing business in China. In particular, his admonitions about the Chinese Communist Party and its ability to control everything it touches are chilling. As the author of The China Business Conundrum, Ken will bring you to understand that you are most at risk when you come to believe that you have a full grasp of your situation. In all probability, You are not even close! Read it once and then read it again!" -- ALEX W. "PETE" HART, former CEO of Mastercard International and financial services industry veteran, former Chairman of the Board, Silicon Valley Bancshares "While working in China, banking executive Ken Wilcox kept his eyes open and became deeply skeptical about the CCP's willingness to actually collaborate with foreign businesses. The China Business Conundrum is a much-needed antidote to Party bromides about 'win-win' scenarios." -- ORVILLE SCHELL, Vice President, Asia Society &amp; Arthur Ross Director, Center on U.S.-China Relations

The China Business Conundrum

This is more than a richly detailed story about the hubris, corruption and incompetence that doomed Credit Suisse; it's a stark warning to all of us about what happens when we let bankers do what they like' - Oliver Bullough, bestselling author of Butler to the World --- For centuries, Swiss banks have served the globe's wealthiest individuals, employing a strict culture of anonymity and gaining massive wealth in the process. But when Credit Suisse collapsed, the veil of secrecy came down and the world was suddenly privy to the corruption, scandal and empty hubris that keep our biggest banks alive. It was a 166-year-old bastion of Swiss banking, amongst the most important and influential financial institutions in the world - but a veneer of high-class service disguised a darker, dirtier reality. From its sterile Zurich headquarters, the bank catered to a clientele that included dictators, drug dealers and former Nazi officers, and helped fleece its own clients out of billions of dollars. This continued for decades, even as Credit Suisse continued to expand, acquiring smaller banks and granting its own executives lucrative bonus contracts. Meltdown is the story of how the house of cards fell apart. Bloomberg investigative journalist and bestselling author of Pyramid of Lies Duncan Mavin takes readers inside the bank's hushed marble corridors, detailing its secretive culture and the series of increasingly selfish decisions, made by a handful of men at the top, which ultimately led to disaster. This is the fascinating history of one of the biggest financial institutions of our times - and a thrilling exposé of the wider financial services sector - which promises to give readers a shocking and brutally honest look into a previously-unknown world of greed, lies and unrelenting human ambition. --- "A riveting autopsy of how one of banking's titans gradually, then suddenly, crumbled under the weight of its own misdeeds" - Bradley Hope, New York Times bestselling author of Billion Dollar Whale and Blood and Oil "This financial thriller of a book offers a tantalising glimpse into the rot at the heart of one of the world's most powerful banks" - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of We Are Anonymous and Supremacy "We're used by now to bankers behaving badly, but Duncan Mavin takes it to another shocking, anger-inducing level. Credit Suisse stood for propriety, but he shows this to be a total fabrication" - Chris Blackhurst, former editor of The Independent and bestselling author of Too Big to Jail "A gripping story of power, greed and panic, and a humbling reminder of the enormous cost of capitalism going awry" - Josie Cox, author of Women, Money and Power

ASTONISHING TRUE STORIES OF GREED AND AMBITION ON 1980S WALL STREET: A PERFECT READ FOR FANS OF THE WOLF OF WALL STREET AND BBC'S INDUSTRY The 1980s was the most turbulent era in the financial market since the crash of '29, not only on Wall Street but around the world. Michael Lewis, as a trainee at Salomon Brothers in New York and later an investment banker and financial journalist, was uniquely positioned to chronicle the ambition and folly that fuelled that decade. In The Money Culture we meet the movers and shakers who commanded the headlines and rewrote the rules. This is a gripping account of the biggest names and moments in one of the most outrageous decades in Wall Street's history.

Geschichte findet oft in Hotels statt. Ein bedeutsames Beispiel: das Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich am Paradeplatz. Hier wurde 1838 das Hôtel Baur, das erste Grandhotel der Stadt, eröffnet. Damals war die Schweiz noch keine Eidgenossenschaft und Europa im politischen und industriellen Umbruch.

Der Paradeplatz lag als Saumarkt vor den alten Stadtmauern. Erst später nutzte das Militär die grosse Fläche für Paraden - daher sein heutiger Name. Damals führten Gaslaternen und Kutschen zum Bahnhof. Heute stehen dort Banken und Luxusgeschäfte. Am 20. Dezember 2023 wurde das Hotel nach grossem Umbau wiedereröffnet, nun betrieben von der Hotelgruppe Mandarin Oriental - und gleich von Gault Millau zum Hotel des Jahres 2025 erkoren sowie von Michelin mit einem Stern ausgezeichnet. Die "Du" widmet diesem Stück Geschichte eine Ausgabe, zumal es gleich zwei Geschichten sind: Eine spielt in der Schweiz und eine in Asien.

Das Mandarin in Hongkong und das Oriental in Bangkok gehörten nicht immer zusammen. Hongkong wandelte sich in den 1950er-Jahren von einer britisch-kolonialen Hafenstadt zu einem bedeutenden Finanz- und Handelszentrum. 1963 entstand dort das Mandarin, das interessanterweise vom Set-Designer Don Ashton (Die Brücke am Kwai, 1957) gestaltet wurde. Doch das legendärste Hotel Asiens stand schon hundert Jahre vorher in Bangkok: das Oriental am Chao Phraya, der 'Mutter aller Wasser'. Es war über ein Jahrzehnt lang das beste Hotel der Welt. Hochadel und Hollywood trafen sich hier, auch der britische Dramatiker Somerset Maugham kehrte dort ein. Im Oriental starb er fast an Malaria und schrieb dort im Fiebertraum ein Märchen, das Teil seines Asien-Reiseberichts "The Gentleman in the Parlour" ist. Das Märchen ist Teil dieser "Du"-Ausgabe.
Erst in den 1970er-Jahren vereinten sich dann Mandarin und Oriental zu einer Hotelgruppe, die in den nächsten Jahrzehnten zu einer global bekannten Marke wachsen sollte.

Nun fand in Zürich wieder eine Vermählung zweier Häuser statt. Mandarin Oriental betreibt seit einem Jahr das ehemalige Hotel Savoy Baur en Ville, und es stellte sich schon vor dem Umbau die Frage: Wie bewahrt man Geschichte und richtet sich trotzdem an der Moderne aus? Es ist gelungen, das Alte zu bewahren und in der Gegenwart anzukommen, indem darauf geachtet wurde, charakteristische Elemente des Savoys zu erhalten: Noch immer führt die grosse Wendeltreppe vom Erdgeschoss zu den Banketträumen, der Ballsaal hat noch immer seine Marmorsäulen und ist denkmalgeschützt, das Zunftzimmer holzgetäfelt und natürlich auch noch da. Das asiatische Erbe von Mandarin Oriental schwebt trotzdem dezent durch das Haus. In der Lobby hängt ein von Interior-Designer Tristan Auer eigens für das Hotel entworfener Fächer; und es herrscht der einzigartige und zurückhaltende asiatische Service, der schon das Mandarin in Hongkong und das Oriental in Bangkok so berühmt gemacht hat.

Diese Ausgabe der "Du" wirft auch einen Blick hinter die Kulissen, auf den Umbau und die Orchestrierung des Betriebs. Doch damit nicht genug Geschichte: Nur Monate vor der Eröffnung ging der damalige Besitzer unter - die altehrwürdige Credit Suisse. Sie wurde von der UBS übernommen, die heute das Mandarin Oriental Savoy auf eigene Rechnung führt.

THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING TRUE STORY OF GREED AND OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE ON WALL STREET: A MODERN CLASSIC'The funniest book on Wall Street I've ever read.' - Tom WolfeIn 1986, before Michael Lewis became the bestselling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street's premier investment firms.
