Glass-Steagall restricted proprietary trading by bank entities and transactions with financial affiliates.
It set up a wall betweein banking functions and brokerage functions. IT wasn't necessary when it was passed and it became more irrelevant as time went on. It didnt prevent any previous financial crises nor would it have prevented this one. It did artificially suppress earnings and increase inefficiency in the economy.
Do you understand why concentration in the banking industry is extremely dangerous? If so, please elaborate, and if not, I'll do my best to explain it to you.
