A very good, chart driven summary of where we stand, ten years after the financial crisis: what’s changed; what’s mostly the same; areas to watch. Contains what I’ve added to my list of favourite quotes: «People aren’t going to be that stupid again. So they find another way to be stupid.»

From Weekly Filet #268, in March 2018.
