FOREWORD

by Paul A. Volcker

“Senseless Panic” is a clarion call to action by Congress, by the regulatory agencies, by accounting standards setters, by rating agencies, and by banks themselves... there can be no question that [Bill Isaac's] sense of urgency is justified and his proposed policies need a thoughtful response.

Paul A. Volcker
- Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve and Chairman of President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board
