Hello Romain and Chris,

For a crisis that involved the intersection of global politics, economics, finance, sociology, psychology, and many other factors, there are many different versions of how the crisis happened. There are still legitimate researches being done for crisis of over a hundred years ago. My point is that we are not likely to ever have one definitive answer to the cause of the crisis, or one definitive explanation of the effects of the crisis. In this article, I meant to provide an overview of the critical issues from my perspective. Even that was constrained by the context of writing for an online financial publication : )

Given my druthers, I would actually like to write from a more psychological perspective. That is, one of the critical issues, not often discussed, is a softening of society, such that negative consequences of poor choices are dragged out and delayed far into the future. But that is another tale for another context!

Yours, in service,

Jason
