One narrative, the one favored by Matt Taibbi and alike is “It was all criminal intent… those banksters… they have to be destroyed…in fact everything in our society is rotten and it has to be destroyed”
The other, the one I know to be truer is “Of course, as always plenty of criminal action and human frailty was present, but is was primarily a consequence of almost criminal regulatory stupidity”.
Guess which version gets the highest ratings in our polarized reality show world?
You´ve got it! Mine does not even come close.
