Financial Markets Meltdown: What Can We Learn from Minsky

Author

  • L. Randall Wray
Abstract
According to this new Public Policy Brief by Senior Scholar L. Randall Wray, the current crisis in financial markets can be traced back to securitization (the "originate and distribute" model), leverage, the demise of relationship-based banking, and the dizzying array of extremely complex instruments that--quite literally--only a handful understand.
