I'm not sure how you run things in the states after this mess, but in Sweden we hold our banks in a really tight leash, since they've shown themselves uncapable of caring for peoples money. The ones to primarily blame for this not so small incident is the banks and the investment firms. You capitalist-huggers can say what you please in you defense.

Everyone in this comment page obviously has no idea how the GFC actually happened. This movie is based on the book which has all ACTUAL conversations between these men and the battle to save America. The GFC happened because of fault on everyone's part, including the taxpayer, not just the bankers. Anyone who thinks it was some kind of conspiracy is a fucking retard.

@hEINRICh6669 "Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell." - Kyle Bass, JP Morgan prodigy and founder of a massive hedge fund that correctly predicted both the housing bubble collapse as well as the default of Greece. This is not capitalism my friend, but you are right - those bankers should always be kept on a tight leash

the only thing i didn't like about this film was the image depicted of Tim Geithner and Hank Paulson....it's as if they paid the film director to sweeten their roles in the story....truth is quite different...

@hEINRICh6669 The ones to blame for this were the investment banks, The Federal Government, The Federal Reserve Bank, and lastly the borrower. Plenty of blame to go around. This film mainly focuses on the role of the investment banks in the collapse. Capitalism is by far the best system in the world, but the funny thing is the US doesn't hand hasn't had true capitalism. Crony Capitalism or Corporatism is a better way to put it.

@fazthebro sorry bro but i thing lending money to someone that cannot afford to pay back and you know it ,then i think thislooks like more of a premeditated murder than anything else.

Amazing how we lived through such an event. We were just moments away from an economic collapse on a world scale.

@marcoveetee82 It's good to hear! I've heard that Italy actually surpassed our level of healthcare sufficiency, and I hope that means you are progressing well as a country in whole:) The removal of Berlusconi might help that. Safe travels to you!

@redwoodsron Wikipedia provides a basic overview under the title "Social welfare in Sweden". Unfortunately, the sitting government is working hard on demolishing our system, since they're all right-wingers. The idea of Social Democracy where everyone has a equal chance in a society don't sit well with their ideologies. Among many things they want to remove our healthcare-system and replace it with private insurance. Bastards.
