Abstract
The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 was a complete financial reform act in the aftermath of “The Great Recession” of 2008 that affected all aspects of the U.S. financial industry. It was one of the most influential financial reform legislations since the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 that followed the “Great Depression”. This project will analyze the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act on the banking industry, comparing it to other major financial and consumer reform legislation and the historical effect on the U.S. economy.
