Aug 24, 2010 at 14:30 comment added Muro Yes...bank runs could become in vogue again. How 1930's that would be.
Aug 24, 2010 at 5:05 comment added MrChrister Never mind that comment - ask Washington Mutual if people will run on a bank. Largest FDIC failure in history after a 10 day run according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Deposit_Insurance_Corporation
Aug 24, 2010 at 4:17 comment added MrChrister I think our society is far to dependent on electronic transactions for the majority of people to actually make a run on a bank in the classic sense. Furthermore, if the rates of savings in the US today is any indication, the majority of people have little money in the banks to begin with.
Aug 24, 2010 at 3:42 comment added Muro Banks runs are the only thing that keep fractional reserve banks from lending out every last dime. They may be making a come back.
