I thought I would try to make this as simple as possible: Here is my take on understanding the current financial crisis. All you need to understand is the history (and eventual repeal) of the Glass-Steagall and Bank Holding Company Acts.

Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast
