Eight years have passed since the "Great Financial Crisis." The efforts of legislators and regulators have gone a long way toward protecting the safety and soundness of our large banks. Yet the system remains vulnerable. Highly leveraged and interconnected financial firms continue to rely on panic-prone funding structures, posing a clear risk of contagious "runs." Today, it is not the heavily regulated commercial banks that are the main source of concern.
