What's clear to me is that, allowing an organization like a Community Legal Clinic to hire unpaid articling students won't result in nearly
the kind of market distortions or economic inequity that unpaid internships cause in the private sector.
Non-asset holders were punished — their bank deposits now generate little or no income, and they were forced to move into riskier assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or «anything that offers some yield and is not bolted down to the floor» (please see my answer to What
kind of market distortions does the Fed loaning out money at 0 % cause?).
