Too big to fail becomes even bigger
The US financial system of the future:3 institutions with 80% market share??
In the latest available data (Q3 of 2010), the big 6 had assets worth 64 percent of GDP. This is up from before the crisis – assets in the big six at the end of 2006 were only about 55 percent of GDP. And this is up massively from 1995, when these same banks (some of which had different names back then) were only 17 percent of GDP. http://baselinescenario.com/2011/01/09/the-bill-daley-problem/
