ELI5 Bailouts - why don't governments own the companies they bail out?
Manage episode 409606666 series 3433592
What exactly is a bailout and how does it work? If a company gets bailed out with taxpayer money, shouldn’t the public now own it? Why do governments often choose to bail out banks? Why don't they just let them go under? How do CEOs from failing companies bailout with golden parachutes? Where does the money come from?
... we explain like I'm five
