The Glass-Steagall Act, also known as the Banking Act of 1933, was passed in response to the Great Depression. It established Regulation Q ceilings to limit interest rates, separated commercial and investment banking to prevent risky speculation, and created the FDIC to insure deposits and promote stability in the banking system. The McFadden Act, passed in 1927, allowed national banks to operate branches within a state but did not address the issues of the Great Depression. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) and the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act (DIDMCA) were passed in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively, and were not a direct response to the Great Depression.
