Senators John McCain and Maria Cantwell have introduced bipartisan legislation to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, the Depression-era reform that separated commercial banking from investment banking. Mr McCain and Ms Cantwell thus join a very distinguished group of reformers, led by the estimable Paul Volcker and other notables including Nicholas Brady, the former Treasury secretary.
美國(guó)參議員約翰?麥凱恩(John McCain)和瑪麗亞?坎特韋爾 (Maria Cantwell)已經(jīng)提交了要求恢復(fù)《格拉斯-斯蒂格爾法案》(Glass-Steagall Act)的兩黨議案,并由此成為了一個(gè)聲名卓著的改革者群體的一員。這一群體以受人尊敬的保羅?沃克爾(Paul Volcker)和包括前財(cái)長(zhǎng)尼古拉斯?布雷迪(Nicholas Brady)在內(nèi)的其他知名人士為首。《格拉斯-斯蒂格爾法案》是大蕭條時(shí)期的一項(xiàng)改革方案,將商業(yè)銀行業(yè)與投資銀行業(yè)分離開來(lái)。
