What’s (Still) Wrong with Credit Ratings
..My overarching point in What’s (Still) Wrong with Credit Rating Agencies is that these reforms have had little or no impact , and that therefore the same credit rating-related dangers, market distortions, and inefficient allocations of capital that led to the crisis potentially remain. The major credit rating agencies are still among the most powerful and profitable institutions in the world .

..Why did the rating agencies do such a bad job rating subprime securities? The story being told--of conflicts of interest-holds considerable appeal.
