i am being reductionist...I think it's human nature and it's happened loads....this particular 'crisis' is therefore irrelevant, and, I think it is in our pysche rather than any structural paradoxes in the means of production...humans just repeat their mistakes - optimism, pessimism, herd behaviour, etc etc Nothing will change, I laughed when after the early 1990s recession social commentators were saying "we have left the "I" 80s and joined the "Us" 90s"..ditto after 9/11 there was much shite spouted about a reassessment of values in the investment community to giving something back etc....all horseshit...the next bust 2022 or so......
