“…En palabras de Summers (2008) "los excesos financieros son el único problema para que el crecimiento vuelva a ser normal". Este argumento va en consonancia con los defensores de Minsky (1982), como Kregel (2008), Whalen (2007) y Wray (2008. Así, la hipótesis de la inestabilidad financiera parece dar una explicación completa a la reciente crisis y esta solo se afrontará con regulación financiera.…”

Kregel (2007) says that the present crisis is due to the endogenous nature of the financial system itself and to the way in which financialization has developed. At bottom, the current financial crisis puzzle goes beyond the fall of home prices or default by debtors; its root lies in speculation based on the expansion of securitization.…”

“…Instead, "quant models" based on historical data regarding default rates of purportedly similar borrowers would replace costly relationship banking, enhancing efficiencies and narrowing interest rate spreads (Kregel 2007).
