First, how far will the balance shift from markets to governments? Industrial nations’ governments are getting more involved in modes of production, exchange and distribution – see the US, long committed to minimum state involvement. The drivers of more government involvement in markets are primarily non-commercial. Entry is dictated by a desire to offset market failures; and exit is often delayed by the lobbying of those favourably impacted by such interventions.

“The financial sector, everyone whose business is essentially lending money is now a ward of the state. They could lend to each other but they don’t trust each other. They can’t raise money in the equity market. There is nowhere else to turn,” Mr. Simons said.

Amazon.com: The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance: Ron Chernow: Books
The first section, which he calls the Baronial Era in banking, is fascinating, and for me it was a page-turner. The Morgan banking house actually began as the George Peabody bank in England, and Junius Morgan was brought over from the US to be his successor. Junius Morgan took the bank to a level far beyond where Peabody had, and then his son JP Morgan Sr. took over. JP Morgan Sr (Pierpont) is the name most associated with Morgan banking, and he was an enormously powerful and colorful character. This was the infamous age of the "Robber Barons" the rise of American railroads, big steel, and the oil industry. Pierpont was at the center of it, commanding industry while collecting art, building yachts and cavorting with women. It makes a great story.

Banking history swiftcommunity.net
Going back half a century however, the computer was just emerging. There was no electronification. Banking services were performed through manual ledger accounts of credits and debits. Everything was manual, over the counter, face-to-face.
“Every evening, my father (a Midland Bank manager) would walk the 20 yards from the bank front door to ours, come in, sit down, and start the daily ritual of checking through the cheques. He'd thumb through every one of his customers' cleared cheques, sent overnight in the big branch postal packet from London. He'd know every regular payment every customer made - and when there was a sudden irregularity. Little had changed since Britain's national joint stock banks emerged in the mid 1800s.”
Back then, credit and debit cards did not exist, SWIFT was unheard and unthought of, derivatives were unknown and investment markets were based upon paper stocks.

The total risks borne by banks have largely been restrained, compared with their capital position. The robustness of the banking system against a stress scenario of interest rate risk and credit risk has remained relatively high.
FT.com / In depth - The big freeze: A year that shook faith in finance
-
The answer to this seeming mystery lies in the slippery concept of financial “faith”. Over the past decade, western banking has experienced an extraordinary burst of innovation, as financiers have discovered ways to slice and dice their loans – such as the now controversial subprime mortgages – and then turn these into securities that can be sold to investors all over the world.
