2 Years Ago, Lehman Brothers Filed Bankruptcy
For the second anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, NPR talks to Financial Times editor Peter Chapman, author of 'The Last of the Imperious Rich'.
http://www.powells.com/blog/?p=24132
Excerpt
The Last of the Imperious Rich: Lehman Brothers, 1844-2008, begins with the arrival by ship of Henry Lehman in New York City, as he escapes a German region shot through with political oppression and anti-Semitism.
Henry Lehman settled in Montgomery, Ala., hoping to make money from the pre-Civil War cotton economy, grounded in cheap slave labor.
The shift from Alabama to Wall Street came gradually. Chapman offers context for the move as the nation changed drastically and violently before, during and after its Civil War.

- Financial engineers who built towers of "securitized" debt with math models that were fundamentally flawed. - Jon Markman

In 2005 at a presentation to Goldman Sachs, Griffin spoke favourably of credit derivatives. "The market for credit derivatives has effectively created a huge new pool of risk-taking capital for our debt markets. By unbundling and trading credit risk without having to transfer the underlying asset, this market has introduced an entirely new and vital way of spreading risk. Credit derivatives, to use one example, let banks transfer risk from their portfolios, allowing them to create new loans."

Hedge funds are “alternative investments” in contrast to traditional stock and bond investing. The hedge fund market has grown rapidly over the past five years (2003-2008) from approximately $800 million to $2 trillion in assets under management. The US has remained a leader in this area, accounting for approximately 70% of the market.
