Act passed in 1933 which regulated banking. Named for Sen. Carter Glass (D-VA) and Rep. Henry Steagall (D-AL 3rd). Also known as the Banking Act of 1933. Motivated by the Great Depression and one of the pillars of the New Deal.
Glass-Steagall prohibited commercial banks from engaging in underwriting securities, i.e., banks that accepted deposits and loaned money at interest were not allowed to issue bonds or new public offerings of stocks. The Act also authorized the creation of deposit insurance.
The Banking Act of '33 was strengthened in 1956 when bank holding companies were barred from the insurance business.
Between 1982 and 1999, banks were deregulated until the same corporation could take deposits, create credit, borrow from the Federal Reserve, underwrite stocks and bonds, operate a hedge fund, and sell insurance.

Glass-Steagall was repealed in stages between 1982 and 1999.
In 1990, the largest bank in the USA--CitiBank--held assets of $369.1 (2009 dollars); by 2009, it held over 5x that. Bank of America is now 13.24 times its size in 1990. The repeal of Glass-Steagall undeniably worsened our problem with banks that were too big to fail.

Get the Flock of Seagulls mug.An absolutely hilarious music video by Bad Lip Reading. A parody of The Empire Strikes Back, the song has Yoda warning Luke Skywalker about the dangers seagulls pose to beachgoers. Many think the seagulls are a metaphor for the Clone Troopers, who wiped out most of the Jedi Order after the Clone Wars. Either way, the song is hilarious. Yoda also beats up poor R2-D2, puts a fish in their picnic basket, and, after Luke disses Yoda's singing, very menacingly warns him: "Don't fall asleep. DON'T. FALL. ASLEEP. "
Yoda: Nothing a little music can't help. Rockin. Rockin and Rollin. Down to the beach I'm strollin. But the seagulls, poke at my head, not fun!! Said seagulls, stop it now!!!!
