Twenty or 30 years ago, if a bank in North America lent too much money to some people who couldn't afford to pay it back and the bank went bust, that was bad for the lender and bad for the borrower, but we didn't imagine it would bring the global economic system to its knees for nearly a decade.
Hace 20 o 30 años,  si un banco en Norteamérica prestaba demasiado dinero a alguien que no podía devolver el dinero y el banco quebraba, era malo para el prestamista y para el prestatario, pero no imaginábamos que pondría de rodillas al sistema económico mundial durante casi una década.
