Topic 1: Can Bank Failures be Avoided?
POINT: No. Banks are in the business of providing credit. When economic conditions deteriorate, there will be loan defaults and some banks will not be able to survive.
COUNTER-POINT: Yes. If banks focus on providing loans to creditworthy borrowers, most loans will not default even during recessionary periods.
