May 10, 2010 at 8:35am EDT, Arthur Wilmarth, Jr., of the George Washington University Law School presented an excellent overview of the Glass-Steagall Act as it pertains to the 2010 economy and banking on C-Span's Washington Journal. This video can be found on their archive shortly after the airing.

But the true topic herein is that this page needs to be merged into the present page located at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Act, since:

1. The later page is a duplicate of the more informative page cited at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Act

2. Two pages need not exist since the reference at http://law.jrank.org/pages/7165/Glass-Steagall-Act.html supports the idea that #1 is a duplication.

There is no reason for them to be combined other than the fact that they were backed by the same legislators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.29.138.224 (talk) 02:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the two Glass-Steagall Act pages should be merged. This page also discusses the Pecora commission of 1933 and Roosevelt and the New Deal (inaugurated in 1933) as leading to legislation in 1932. Surely this refers to the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gm2001 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
