Thanks! But "So even if everybody appears to make balanced bets in the market, one failure can cause everyone to fail. Lehman was one of the culprits in the 2008 crisis as shown below." So what benefit to societies as a whole does these 'Cuprit's bets' continue to provide? ...if nothing? Why would governments bail out a bunch of culprit-gamblers making bets that are of no benefit to the citizen's own governments? What if they had been allowed to fail a few years ago for creating an unlicensed Casino that puts every one at risk? and so now what should/could governments do?
