Problem
What are the major categories of firms that make up the U.S. financial services industry? Did the bank and thrift share of the financial services market rise, fall, or stay the same between 1980 and 2007? Are there more or fewer banks today than a decade ago? Why are the lines between the categories of financial firms becoming more blurred than in the past?
