Get PDFThe narrative that emerged in the aftermath of the COVID-19 financial crisis has focused on nonbank financial intermediation as the primary vulnerability that plagued financial markets starting in March of 2020 and the exogenous nature of a public health crisis as a unique precipitating event. As a result, the crisis has largely been viewed as vindication for financial regulation as it applies to banks, with the Federal Reserve playing the role of heroic rescuer of the financial system.
This Article offers an alternative-and critical-analysis of the performance of banks during the COVID-19 financial crisis and the Fed\u27s role as a financial regulator. Charting the course from the landmark reforms of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to the COVID-19 crisis reveals disconnects between the legal and policy objectives of financial regulation and the actions taken by policymakers.

Realizing Diversity, Sustainability, and Stakeholder Capitalism
Get PDFStakeholder capitalism conceives of capitalism with companies maximizing their long-term value, while considering in addition to the interests of their shareholders, also the interests of all their other stakeholders. Examples of such additional stakeholders include customers, employees, communities, creditors, competitors, society at large, and our planet. America today does not have stakeholder capitalism. Instead, America presently has shareholder capitalism, in which publicly held corporations only maximize their stock value to shareholders.
This Essay analyzes proposals for the United States Securities Exchange Commission to require that all reporting companies make periodic mandatory Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures of comparable, standardized, and quantifiable metrics. These required, ongoing ESG report cards would measure the diversity, sustainability, and ethical impacts of companies on other stakeholders besides shareholders. In effect, this one simple regulatory change means that reporting companies effectively will maximize shareholder value subject to ESG constraints regarding other stakeholders’ interests, just as corporations now maximize profits subject to economic, legal, market, scientific, and technological constraints.
This Essay analyzes how mandatory periodic ESG disclosures can realize diversity, sustainability, and stakeholder capitalism. This Essay explains why corporate greed as currently practiced under the notion of shareholder capitalism is a championed and cherished part of American popular culture. Finally, this Essay examines possible causes of the belief that corporate greed and individual greed are socially desirable and even somehow virtuous
