Paper Introduction:
THE SAVINGS AND LOAN CRISIS AND BAILOUT
Introduction
The savings and loan crisis in the 1980s and 1990s was one of the worst financial disasters that ever struck this country. The debacle was caused by many forces working over a long period of time. For most of its history the thrift industry was a remarkable success. The core operation of the individual S&L was the collection of deposits, upon which interest was paid, and the loan of this money in twenty to thirty year mortgages to finance home building. For the most part, depositors kept their money in the S&L for a long period of time. Since the rate of interest paid depositors was lower than the interest charged mortgage holders, the S&L made money (Warf, Cox, 1996, 135).
