Excessive deregulation Overall regulation, increased. Regulation of finance also increased. We need to modernize I suppose, but that's a pretty meaningless statement. and apply the same general principles that were behind the Glass-Steagall, Which has little to do with either modernization or avoiding serious financial risks. We need size caps on the biggest banks in our financial system, preferably as a percent of GDP. Why? We should tighten capital requirements substantially. In some cases this makes some sense. And we must regulate derivatives more tightly That's a very general thought. "More tightly" might be appropriate depending on what specifically is being regulated and how it is being regulated, but even that isn't certain. "Tightly" isn't a good idea.
