MOB WITH DICKS A MUSICAL FOR ALL BANKRUPTCIES

the show focuses on the anarchic and nubile girls of St. Godley’s Academy for Young Ladies who, determined to save the institution from bankruptcy, decide to stage Herman Melville’s classic novel in the school’s swimming pool.
Having become involved with the restoration of Oxford’s Old Fire Station Theatre, producer Cameron Mackintosh sought a new musical to inaugurate its re-opening.

Impressed by an audio tape sent him by Longden, Mackintosh offered him £25,000 to stage what was then called Moby Dick: A Whale of a Tale. Originally an intimate piece with a cast of twelve performing with an upright piano, it became a greatly expanded version featuring a troupe of thirty and a six-piece band.

Another, much-ignored aspect of the TBTF ambiguity is the fact that the U.S. since 1934 has granted a general immunity from bankruptcy to financial institutions. Although not widely-reported, for decades U.S. banks and other legally-favored institutions have been exempt from the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. That means an insolvent bank (or bank holding company) will also be handled politically, to some extent – whether by the Fed, FDIC, or some other agency – not commercially or judiciously, as in the court system. In effect, U.S. public policy has declared that “lenders to lenders” (i.e., the bondholders of banks) don’t have full legal rights, compared to creditors of non-banks. Clearly, this approach violates the principle of equality before the law. Here’s an account of the banks’ exemption from bankruptcy:

The section of the U.S Bankruptcy code that governs which entities are permitted to file a bankruptcy petition is 11 U.S.C. § 109. Banks and other deposit institutions, insurance companies, railroads, and certain other financial institutions and entities regulated by the federal and state governments cannot be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code. Instead, special state and federal laws govern the liquidation or reorganization of these companies. In the U.S. context at least, it is incorrect to refer to a bank or insurer as being “bankrupt.” The terms “insolvent,” “in liquidation,” “in receivership” would be appropriate under some circumstances.

For all the criticisms of the U.S. government’s handling of bank insolvencies in 2008-2009, whether by the left (which correctly opposed the bailouts) or right (which correctly opposed the TARP’s partial nationalizations) – the consistent position of defenders of genuine, laissez-faire banking was opposition to any politicized handling of bank failures in the first place, and any subsidies. How many policy analysts today would phase out deposit insurance, the discount window, or the TBTF doctrine? It’s a minority viewpoint, for sure – but the right one. As I argued more than two decades ago, we should aim for a banking system without TBTF, but that means we need a banking system simultaneously devoid of unfair subsidies and free of overly-harsh regulations. The latter follow inexorably from the former. Bank insolvencies would become rarer in a freer system, but they’d be handled in an objective, judicious, and legal context, with careful scrutiny of creditors’ rights and the hierarchy of creditors’ claims. There’d be no question of TBTF, political favoritism, mistreatment of bondholders, or moral hazard.
What rationale has been provided for the U.S. government’s grant of immunity from bankruptcy to financial institutions? It’s been argued that since the government has become a major creditor to the banks, whether indirectly (by the provision of deposit insurance) or directly (though discount window lending, or TBTF

The end result was a madcap romp, with veteran cabaret star Tony Monopoly playing the headmistress/Captain Ahab in drag, that immediately developed a cult following among the university students. One of its first venues was aboard Ki Longfellow’s Old Profanity Showboat where after a slow start, it quickly became sold out.
