The current meltdown in the credit markets, precipitated by bad mortgage loans, is a failure of both public and private regulation. Professor Rom, author of Public Spirit in the Thrift Tragedy (University of Pittsburgh Press, 1996) discusses his research on the failure by Moody's and by Standard & Poor's to accurately judge the risk of mortgage-based securities.
