The economic crisis that began in 2008 revealed the numerous problems in our financial system, from the way mortgage loans were produced to the way Wall Street banks leveraged themselves. Curiously enough, however, most of the reasons for the banking collapse are very similar to the reasons that Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), the largest hedge fund to date, collapsed in 1998. 始于2008年的经济危机暴露了我们金融体系中的诸多问题，从抵押贷款的产生方式到华尔街银行自我杠杆化的方式。然而，奇怪的是，银行业崩溃的大部分原因与迄今为止最大的对冲基金长期资本管理公司（LTCM）1998年崩溃的原因非常相似。
