Roberta S. Karmel, Centennial Professor and codirector of the Dennis J. Block Center for the Study of International Business Law at Brooklyn Law School and a former commissioner of the SEC, writes that Wall Street's investment banking model is clearly broken, but this is a matter of basic economics due to such factors as technology and international competition, and not the fault of the SEC. While more stringent and better regulation of broker-dealer holding companies by the SEC might have made the collapse of the firms subject to consolidated regulation less swift and less costly, it is unlikely that it would have staved off their eventual failure as standalone investment banks. Furthermore, the fuss over mark-to-market accounting and short selling are just side shows, a distraction of what should be a comprehensive effort to reform this country's outdated and balkanized financial regulatory system.
