- tryptophan 5y agoThe whole criticism of wildcat banking is so myopic imo. Laws were set up that explicitly made these banks very weak. Then after they inevitably failed like they were set up to do, everyone goes "omg, look! private money is so bad! time to nationalize banking and regulate everything!". https://www.alt-m.org/2021/07/06/the-fable-of-the-cats/ https://www.alt-m.org/2021/07/06/the-fable-of-the-cats/
