No, there's really no question that individuals were to blame for this crisis as Michael Lewis points out in is piece: "The End".

It was a large number of individuals, certainly, but in that this was the greatest securities fraud in history, it was going to take a lot of people.

One of the things that illustrates that this is a crisis and how bad a crisis is the skyrocketing value of the U.S. dollar, as measured against the major world currencies as a "basket".

Money is a real social relation that people really need and that is very clear now that there is so much less of it.
