Unfortunately, the conventional post-mortem on Lehman is wishful thinking.  It basically says that no matter how huge the housing bubble, how deep a credit hole the United States (and many other countries) had dug, and how convoluted the global financial system, we could have just grown our way out of trouble.  Patch up Lehman, move on, keep drafting off of China’s energy, and nothing bad ever need have happened.
Proslulí investoři i čelní politici vyslovili názor, že v naší ultrapropojené globální ekonomice nikdy nelze dopustit, aby velká finanční instituce jako Lehman Brothers padla.
