Bankruptcy or bailouts?
After the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers, two reasons are generally cited for bailing out troubled banks. First, it is assumed that a bankruptcy filing greatly reduces the value of a firm’s assets. Second, such an action would have negative effects on the firm’s lenders, customers and other parties that would ripple outward. If a company is sufficiently large, it’s seen as “too big to fail,” and thus must be bailed out.
