When a company gets bailed out with taxpayer money, why is it not owned by the public now?
In: Economics
Bailouts aren’t usually the size of the company itself, and most bailouts are actually just loans that get paid back. The government profits from them and society benefits in general from companies being saved from exceptional circumstances.
The problem arises if it becomes routine and companies start to flout risk management knowing they’re too big too fail.
