The Difficulty Of Modelling Banking — Brian Romanchuk

Summary:
Banking is an ongoing area of controversy in popular discussion of economics and finance. What sets it apart from other areas of economic controversy is that it is not seen as contentious by the mainstream. This has meant that arguments are largely done at the fringes, and generally ignored by conventional economists. I see two main drivers of the difficulties in dealing with the subject: ideology and theoretical intractability.Editorial note: this article is meant to be an introductory section of a chapter on banking in economic theory.
