The Federal Reserve´s role as the lead agency in responding to this crisis has obscured its failures as the agency that was responsible for supervising the bank in the first place. In the case of Silicon Valley Bank, regulators failed to do that job. "They should have stopped them months ago," said Anat Admati, a finance professor at Stanford University. "That´s my problem with the Fed: If they were honest, they would admit their own mistakes."

The toll has been felt most of all, of course, within Iraq itself. Trillions of dollars that could have been spent on improving lives were instead squandered destroying them. Much of the Pentagon spending went to just five huge corporations. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died in the violence that followed. Thousands of coalition personnel, mostly American, were killed. More than 9 million Iraqis were displaced. The Costs of War project estimates that several times as many may have died from knock-on effects.

Those changes, including the safeguards imposed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, were, largely, to the good. On average, an American bank failed every three days between 1980 and 1994. The pace of failures reached similar heights in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, but since then failures have been much less common. The failures in recent days ended the second-longest stretch without a bank failure since the Great Depression.

They are allowed to borrow most of the money they use from lenders and depositors. Policymakers also need to recognize the limits of government oversight as a substitute for market discipline. Money raised from shareholders is called capital, and banks have far less of it than other kinds of companies. If, for example, banks were required to raise 20% of funding from shareholders, that would still be well below the norm for other kinds of companies but enough that it might have covered Silicon Valley Bank´s losses and saved the bank. Banks should be required to raise more money from shareholders, who have a strong incentive to keep an eye on the way that money is used, since they can lose all of it.
