At the time, banks had just been released from the interest rate ceilings of Regulation Q imposed by the Federal Reserve. Also, NOW (or negotiable orders of withdrawal) accounts allowed checkable deposits to earn interest. This period, the mid to late 1970s saw an explosion of financial markets innovation with money market mutual fund accounts, call and put options traded first over the counter then on listed exchanges and finally bank deregulation as failed banks were taken over by out of state banks.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Collins |first=Randall |date=1979 |title=Review of The Bankers. |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2778077 |journal=American Journal of Sociology |volume=85 |issue=1 |pages=190–194 |issn=0002-9602}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Horton |first=Joseph |date=1976 |title=Review of The Bankers |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2326412 |journal=The Journal of Finance |volume=31 |issue=1 |pages=173–174 |doi=10.2307/2326412 |issn=0022-1082|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
