家园 History of the Crisis, HBO http://www.hbo.com/#/movies/too-big-to-fail/video/we-dont-have-options.html/eNrjcmbO0CzLTEnNd8xLzKksyUx2zs8rSa0oYc5nLlTPz0mBCQckpqf6JeamsjFyMjKySSeWluQX5CRW2pYUlQLFAFv-Fzg=
the version that Big Money wants you to believe about the history of the crisis.
Actor of Tim: used to play the role of the British MI5 head, former Cambridge 5 member
Actor of Hank: used to play the role of CIA founder, Dulles.
Actor of Ben: a big joke.
The choices of the first two are very very interesting...
This time, the only bright spot was the former actress for Miranda, lawyer in Sex and the City, who played the role of Michelle, former Goldman wizard and special assistant to Hank Paulson.
Oh, I also saw Charlotte's husband, the jewish doctor...hehe. But this time as the omnipotent Goldman Saches' CEO, Lloyd.
Funny documentary, just for fooling the American general public. Not one word on the true problem in crisis: shadow banking system.
家园 按照维基的说法 影子银行在任何国家监管范围之外。这个说法其实蛮有趣的，如果连世界上最强大的警察国家——美国都不能够监管影子银行，那还有什么东西能够管得住它？影子银行的规模比浮出水面的大得多了，如此规模的transaction会被忽略？我越来越相信“国家”只不过是少数人实施统治的工具罢了。以前科技不发达，所以集权制国家搞不起来，即使像中国这种大一统国家，到了底层还是要靠当地人进行一定程度上的自治，而一旦中央的权威衰弱了，各种草头王或者军阀就冒出来了。现在科技发达了，大概我们一只脚已经踩在了集权国家的门槛里。

家园 buddy, you need to read more technical documents on this topic.
The shadow banking system is NOT an intentional creation by Wall Street bankers OUT OF CONSPIRACY. It is a unique product in most Anglo-Saxon nations due to the booming of middle class savings out of the traditional banking system.
There is a Federal Reserve paper on this paper, and you can just google it. You got finance degree from Concordia and you should be able to read that technical paper.
家园 多谢 我只是觉得国家不可能真的不管这些事情。我去看看那篇论文，话说我是统计毕业的，还是有点差距。
