banks and financial institutions drove the credit boom which resulted in the bust. By providing mortgages to people who couldn't afford them and providing/foisting cheap credit to furnish the home (or whatever else you choose to spend it on) they fanned the flames - $8tn in the US alone!
My point is that the banks - released by governments, undoubtedly - are the responsible party and the fact that they had to invent ways of bundling debt (which is regarded as "nothing new, bad practise or in any way shady" shows how detached they have become from the rules that guide most people's lives.
