The End of the Glass Steagall Act In 1933, the cross-pollination of banking and securities activities was blamed for the Great Depression and measures were taken to see that this never occurred again (Crowley, Online). One such measure was the Glass-Steagall legislation. The legislation has been the object of “finger-wagging” since, especially from large banking institutions. However, many would argue that it not only served its original purpose but also gave rise to the banking system of today. In the end, the Glass-Steagall era may have finally come to a close, but the foundation that was built on the back of this legislation created a solid structure of modern banking which eventually became stable enough to illicit its demise.
