Historical Origins of Thrifts
Mutual Savings Banks were developed in the 1800s because commercial banks did not serve the needs of small savers.
Eventually Mutual Savings Banks invested most of their deposits in mortgage loans.
Mutual Savings and Loan Associations and Building Societies were also started in the 1800s by groups of people who pooled their savings so that each would eventually be able to acquire a house.

Recent History of Thrifts
Stockholder-owned savings and loan associations were relatively uncommon until the late 1970s and 1980s when pressure to attract more capital encouraged many S&Ls to convert to stock form.
Stock S&Ls outnumber mutuals today.
Assets of stock S&Ls are many times as large as the assets of mutual S&Ls.

Thrift Crisis of the 1980s
Classic model of thrift management involved a negative maturity GAP:
Short-to-medium term fixed-rate savings deposits financingMedium-to-long-term fixed-rate mortgages
Thus the sharp interest rate increases of the early 1980s decimated the industry
The problem was compounded by unsound lending practices and other forms of mismanagement
