The best time for an economic crisis is when people can't remember the cause of the last economic crisis. Enter the present. Few can cite contributing factors leading to the 2008 economic crisis. And perhaps fewer are aware toxic assets associated with subprime mortages and the housing bubble may have constituted approximately 15% of the liability bubble which demanded big bankers be bailed out to avoid filing for bankruptcy. Not many know the 1999 repeal of glass steagall may have removed legal regulation created after the great depression, designed to prevent economic crisis. Or that key portions of regulation could be broken and may never be repaired.

The swiftness with which looming financial crisis around the world was generated could imply it was engineered. Like the tv show "I, Robot" someone may have intended to crash the world's financial/economic systems. Possibly to impose their own mandate and new world order.
