Question: The Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s is discussed in the book - a bit. The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (DIDMCA) and the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (GSGDIA) contributed to the crisis. How? The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, & Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) was passed in response to the crisis. What effect did FIRREA have on the prior regulations? Are there any similarities between the S&L crisis and the latest financial crisis?
