Can someone explain the FDIC's role


Recommended Posts

in shutting down banks? I don't understand...

 

When a business shuts down they are shutting themselves down. But the FDIC shuts down banks at will it seems.

 

I need this as simple as possible :D I am by no means an economist!

 

Did you bank at the one that was closed down here in WNC this weekend? That would be scary. Did you know they are also closing down one in Greenville, SC this weekend?

 

This American Life did a story on how the FDIC closes and reopens a bank over a weekend that was really interesting. It's Act Two of this episode.
