Eight years on from the biggest market meltdown since the Great Depression, the key lessons of the crisis of 2008 still remain unlearned—and our financial system is just as vulnerable as ever.
距离大萧条后最严重的市场崩溃——2008年金融危机——已经8年了，而人们还没有汲取它的关键教训。我们的金融系统还像以前一样脆弱。

许多人都知道我们的政府在次贷危机后修复银行系统的举措失败了。

But what few of us realize is how the misguided financial practices and philosophies that nearly toppled the global financial system have come to infiltrate ALL American businesses,  putting us on a collision course for another cataclysmic meltdown.
但是鲜为人知的是，这一场几近推翻了全球金融系统的金融实践和金融哲学，是如何渗透到全美的商业中，让我们跌跌撞撞地驶向下一次灾难性暴跌。
