"Prominent voices call for the nationalization of the weakest major U.S. banks, although advocates of that step are still in a distinct minority. In my view, nationalization should only be a last resort measure, as has historically been the case. (The government has frequently taken over smaller banks, but on only rare occasions has it taken over one of the largest banks in the country.) However, such a nationalization could happen in the current crisis, either because we reach the stage of last resorts or because the anger and desperation of the public creates a political consensus for this drastic action"
