Geithner Presents a Viable Plan to Dispose of the Toxic Assets...that Does Not Rule Out that Insolvent Banks Should be Taken Over
A similar piece, co-authored with Matthew Richardson, was published at the New York Daily News:
For the economy to be viable, the financial system must be healthy, and for this to occur, the financial system needs to be cleansed of its poorly performing loans and so-called toxic securities backed by loans, such as mortgage backed securities. This way, once creditworthy institutions and individuals come to the market looking for capital to borrow, financial firms will be in a position to lend them the money and more generally able provide financial services to the economy.
