Contrary to bankers’ claims, increasing equity requirements significantly, and thus safeguarding the financial system’s stability, is in the public interest – including the interest of most shareholders. By contrast, preserving the status quo, or implementing inadequate regulation, would allow bankers to continue to profit at the expense of others.
与银行家们的主张相反，显著增加股本要求，从而保护金融系统的稳定才符合公众利益——这包括了大部分股东的利益。相比之下，如果只是维持现状或者监管不足的话，银行家们将会继续以他人的损失为代价谋取私利。
