Write a five page essay (12-font typed, double-spaced) about the history of banking and banking legislation. Like any good writer of economic history, tell a good story. Your audience is Main Street, not Wall Street. Be able to explain the U.S. financial structure to anyone, especially those who have not been informed regarding it. A good paper will cite many examples. Remember the common theme throughout the banking history of the United States - capital and currency. Do NOT plagiarize.
