Re: Lessons from the financial crisis (none / 1)
We agree on most of that. It's just that that's not the financial regulator's job. That's the public prosecutor's job. The financial regulator's job was to make sure that this sort of cock-up didn't happen in the first place, or that, if it did, it was contained before it spilled over into the real economy. And as we all know, it's a couple of years late and a few trillion € short for that...
