In many ways Wall Street is the economic center of the United States economy as trillions of dollars in financing and trading are conducted daily. Anytime there is a huge amount of money at stake there is also the temptation for fraud, financial excesses, and corruption. In the wake of the financial crisis Congress recognized the dangers of a lack of appropriate oversight of Wall Street and thus passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Many doubt that this Act will prevent the next financial crisis since each future crisis will be caused by conditions and factors that simply cannot be anticipated by regulators. In addition, Wall Street is constantly attempting to circumvent or weaken regulatory oversight through what is known as "regulatory capture" whereby former regulators take high paid positions on Wall Street and corruptly use their influence as political lobbyists to advance private interests over public interests.
