I need an explanation for this Economics question to help me study.
Watch movies The Big Short and Inside Job, and write an essay about the potential role played by commercial banks and investment banks.
You should have the following components in your essay: 1) what banks were supposed to do; 2) what they actually did; 3) what the consequences are; 4) whether and how their business model changed after the financial crisis.
