Analyzing the last financial collapse – to avoid the next one

Published



The free market has helped make America great, but it only functions when people deal with each other honestly and transparently.  At the heart of the financial crisis were unresolved, and often undisclosed, conflicts of interest.  Blame for this mess lies everywhere from federal regulators who cast a blind eye, Wall Street bankers who let greed run wild, and members of Congress who failed to provide oversight.

And that’s just one stirring paragraph in the news release trumpeting the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations’ new report on the 2008 financial crisis.

The effort that went into producing the 600+ page report is staggering. If you think 600+ pages is light reading, then I have some good news for you – the subcommittee has made nearly 6,000 pages of supporting material available.
