The NYT did the arithmetic and found that the Wall Street Banks had already written off an amount almost equal to half of their profits over the three and a half boom years from 2004 to the middle of 2007. Now that's really financial innovation.

We’re falling behind and we need you to support us.
We’re in the final stretch of our spring fundraising campaign and we’re not on pace to hit our goal. The truth is, we can’t keep producing independent journalism like this without support from readers like you. We don’t take ads from corporate giants or money from billionaires. That means we rely entirely on small donations to keep the lights on and the reporting strong. If you value journalism that challenges power, informs the public, and operates free from influence, now is the time to give.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation today.
