“If the principle of ‘depositor beware’ were allowed to spread across the world and down to every dollar or euro deposited, the world would then have something resembling a free market in banking. Every banker would know that a bank run on his bank could wipe it out at any time. Bankers would become far more careful with depositors’ money. Banking would become less inflationary. The world would be better off. The bankers in the rest of Europe are terrified that the ‘Cyprus solution’ will spread to their nations. That would place final authority in the hands of depositors. This thought terrifies bankers.”
