What’s Inside America’s Banks? - Frank Partnoy and Jesse Eisinger - The Atlantic

Some four years after the 2008 financial crisis, public trust in banks is as low as ever. Sophisticated investors describe big banks as “black boxes” that may still be concealing enormous risks—the sort that could again take down the economy.

An essay that is definitely worth the time.
