Abstract: This essay lays out the basics of the “too-big-to-fail” (TBTF) phenomenon: What it means; why it is a problem; the central role that TBTF financial institutions played in the financial crisis of 2008; and why better prudential regulation than was present prior to 2008 is needed for the future.
