Those changes, including the safeguards imposed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, were, largely, to the good. The failures in recent days ended the second-longest stretch without a bank failure since the Great Depression.

But the wide-ranging intervention is only necessary because the newly shuttered banks - the second- and fourth-largest failed banks in American history - were not exceptions to a pattern of general probity. At the end of 2022, the U.S. banking industry was sitting on a total of about $620 billion in unrealized losses as a result of investments undermined by the rise of interest rates.
