Great interview. Very insightful. I found the discussion on the role Brooksley Born player in trying to reform derivatives extremely interesting. Roger also makes a great point acknowledging that the greed extended to both consumers and institutions. It is important to place emphasis on the poor decisions consumers made at the center of the crisis.
