Some institutions are more fundimental to others in creating what might be called capitalism's "infrastructure". Creating and maintaining a "market for capitial" based on resonable priviliges (such as limited liability) reasonable, enforcable standards and rational trust allows easy capitial formation and liquidity which forms the "infrastructue" for efficient, effective global markets. But if the privileges are excesive, the standards unreasonable or unenforcable and the trust built of an illusion, it can all come crashing down in a panic. So rather than focusing on those factors rather than size alone.

Is there anything preventing this same thing from happening 10 or 20 years from now?
