My motivation for reviewing Citigroup’s history was to perform a natural experiment on the question of whether supporters or critics proved to be more accurate in their predictions about the likely trajectory of Citigroup. Advocates for Citigroup and GLBA argued that Citigroup and other “universal banks” would produce significant public benefits by diversifying their risks, building greater resilience against financial shocks, and offering more convenience to customers through “one-stop shopping.” Opponents of Citigroup and GLBA maintained that universal banks would promote an unhealthy consolidation of the financial industry, thereby aggravating the TBTF problem and intensifying systemic risk within U.S. financial markets. Some critics predicted that the new universal banks would pursue high-risk activities and exhibit conflicts of interest similar to those that characterized financial conglomerates during the 1920s (including National City Bank, Citigroup’s direct ancestor).  –Arthur Wilmarth
