Essentially we had had 30 years of deregulation of the financial services industry prior to the crisis, and in the first instance, and perhaps at its core, what Dodd-Frank did was to say we now need to put in place a regulatory structure to replace the various regulations which had been either eroded through practice or outright repealed over time.”
