That one was more complex. Lehman brothers didn’t publicly tell everybody that they were going to do a bad thing, then proceed to do the bad thing despite everyone telling them it’s a very bad idea, and then everything turns into shit just like everyone had predicted.

Says who? Billionaire investors and regulators for a newly-elected President who saw an imaginary red line go up for two consecutive quarters? "Peace for our times."

Selections:

2011: Median household wealth fell 35% in the U.S., from $106,591 to $68,839 between 2005 and 2011.

2014: A report showed that the distribution of household incomes in the United States became more unequal during the post-2008 economic recovery, a first for the United States but in line with the trend over the last ten economic recoveries since 1949.

2017: Per the International Monetary Fund, from 2007 to 2017, "advanced" economies accounted for only 26.5% of global GDP (PPP) growth while emerging and developing economies accounted for 73.5% of global GDP (PPP) growth.

A shrinking median household incomes, racial wealth inequality, the rise of non-Western economies, do these not sound like contemporary issues to you?

Wait, it's all a crisis?

Always has been.
