I suppose that I am young enough to have been shocked as I was watched the value of a major Wall Street bank dive 85% in one day. In the aftermath of the Bear Sterns collapse there are many different questions being asked. What was the proper role of the Federal Reserve in bailing out (or not bailing out) the bank? Which bank, if any, will be next to fall? What are the implications for moral hazard?
