Article 6 - Deregulation

Article 6 - questions the impact of financial deregulation on the current economic state. David Barker, PhD, writing for Reuters, asks:" Is it true that deregulation helped cause the financial crisis?". As he pursues this line of questioning, he examines the historical case supporting regulation and the potential (and actual) loopholes of the system, concluding that deregulation does not wholly account for the overall flawed state of the US financial system as a whole.
