History: Glass Steagall Act: Definition, Purpose, and Repeal : This 1933 Law Would Have Prevented the Financial Crisis
Definition of The Glass Steagall Act: The Glass-Steagall Act is a law that prevented banks from using depositors' funds for risky investments, such as the stock market. It was also known as the Banking Act of 1933 (48 Stat. 162). It gave power to the Federal Reserve to regulate retail banks. It also prohibited bank sales of securities. It created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Glass-Steagall separated investment banking from retail banking.
Glass Steagall needs to be introduced into Australia to stop the next Financial Crisis.
