The bailouts during the recent financial crisis enraged the public. They felt unfair - and counterproductive: people who take risks must be allowed to fail.

Come stupirsi se tantissimi cittadini non ci stanno più?" Per la maggior parte delle persone, il mondo misterioso delle grandi aziende di capitali è inavvicinabile per le sue logiche troppo complicate.
