""Conti-Brown and Vanatta, through deep historical research and tales of key individuals, chart the U.S.'s bank supervisory pendulum from the Constitution through the 1970s. It's a story of competing theories of capitalism, banking and risk management that is essential reading for the modern moment. As a wave of new bank regulators descends on Washington less than two years after three historic bank failures, bank supervision is at a pivotal moment. ""Private Finance, Public Power"" holds countless insights for bank supervision stakeholders to at least only make new mistakes.""---Steven Kelly, American Banker
