“When the crash of the U.S. stock market became public knowledge I the fall of 2008, it was already old news.  The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn’t shine and the SEC doesn’t dare, or bother, to read: the bond and real estate derivative markets were geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower – and middle-class Americans who can’t pay their debts.  The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren’t talking.”
