Title XI of Dodd-Frank and its Effort to End “Too Big to Fail”

Herbert C. Shelton II, Rutgers University - Newark

Abstract

This article reviews Title XI of Dodd-Frank and its stated goal of ending “too big to fail.” The article examines the meaning of “too big to fail,” explains Title XI and some of its modifications to prior law, and analyzes whether Title XI achieves its stated goal. The article concludes that because federal money may be used to rescue financial institutions, “too big to fail” and “bailouts” will continue beyond this legislation.
