Compare and contrast to hypothetical banks with no regulations at all? Maybe they're not perfect right now, but it could be a lot worse, too.

I'd certainly agree that at least in the US, regulation has greatly increased banking transparency.

There are still edge cases, but capital ratio requirements and accounting standards, compared to none? Huge difference.
