Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher said today that he would advocate a plan to break up large firms that pose a systemic risk to the economy. While many policymakers in Washington believe that regulation needs to ensure that firms can fail, far fewer are willing to break them up to accomplish that end. Since there's still some possibility that the Fed will end up the systemic risk regulator, it matters if its leaders come out in support of breaking up too big to fail firms. Unfortunately, Fisher joins only a small minority of leaders at the Fed who support splitting up such firms.
