This paper distinguishes institutional from systemic explanations for the cause of financial instability. I argue that financial crises are systemic, and as a consequence, the maintenance of financial stability requires more than simple regulation of existing institutions. The newly created F inancial P olicy C ommittee of the B ank of E ngland, should actively manage the asset portfolio of the T reasury, with the aim of stabilizing the price to earning ( PE ) ratio of a broad stock market index.
