In the second narrative, the world’s largest banks remain too big to manage and have strong incentives to engage in precisely the kind of excessive risk-taking that can bring down economies. Last year’s “London Whale” trading losses at JPMorgan Chase are a case in point.
第二种说法是，世界上的银行巨头依然庞大得难以驾驭，而且它们有强烈的动机进行那种会搞垮经济的过度冒险。去年摩根大通的“伦敦鲸”巨额交易损失就是一个明显的例子。而且按照这种说法的主张，几乎所有大银行都表现出长期管理不善的病态。
