Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Mr. Harry Browne:

Yes, of course it can happen. I think that fundamentally if it did happen again, probably for better or worse the institutions we are talking about would be less important than they were in the period the committee is studying, but they could certainly continue to fall into many of the same traps because they continue to have many of the same structural relations to the industries and the sectors, and the interests that represent them.
