Note(s) : Lavelle argues that the political sources of instability in finance derive from the
intersection of market innovation and regulatory arbitrage.
In Money and Banks in the American Political System, debates over financial politics
are woven into the political fabric of the state and contemporary conceptions of the
American dream. The author argues that the political sources of instability in finance
derive from the nexus between market innovation and regulatory arbitrage. This book
explores monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies within a political culture characterized
by the separation of business and state, and mistrust of the concentration of power
in any one political or economic institution. The bureaucratic arrangements among
the branches of government, the Federal Reserve, executive agencies, and government
sponsored enterprises incentivize agencies to compete for budgets, resources, governing
authority and personnel.
