If you want to understand the banking industry over the long term, one of the most important principles to learn is that of the “regulatory pendulum”.  Things come and go, every action has an eventual reaction.  Deregulation brings speculation, speculation causes crisis, crisis leads to harsh regulation.  But after a while, every financial centre realises that they might be able to steal a bit of market share by relaxing the rules a little bit, and the deregulatory cycle begins to turn again.

Google will soon give California millions of dollars to help pay for local journalism jobs in a first-in-the-nation deal, but journalists and other media industry experts are calling it a disappointing agreement that mostly benefits the tech giant. The agreement, which was hashed out behind closed doors and announced this week, will direct tens of millions of public and private dollars to keep local news organisations afloat. Critics say it's a textbook political maneuver by tech giants to avoid a fee under what could have been groundbreaking legislation. California lawmakers agreed to kill a bill requiring tech to support news outlets they profit from in exchange for Google's financial commitment. By shelving the bill, the state effectively gave up on an avenue that could have required Google and social media platforms to make ongoing payments to publishers for linking news content, said Victor Pickard, professor of media policy and political economy at the University of Pennsylvania. California also left behind a much bigger amount of funding that could have been secured under the legislation, he said.
