i'll say this for the book: it's epic. it's fascinating because it played out in my backyard and i didn't know. it's also confusing. dating the events more clearly would really have helped.
i'll say this for the bankers: they're unimaginably wealthy. their speech is liberally and aggressively fricative. they are more human than 2008/2009 media suggests. and they exchange blood and soul for their paychecks.
and i'll say this for myself: i still don't understand what a cdo is, although i now know you have investment commercial and retail banks. this really annoys me.
pity the prosperity of this world... for it corrupts joy and brings the fear of adversity. pity the adversity of this world... for it fills men with a longing for prosperity, and... is hard for them to bear...
