I make a distinction between true and real. I think that the story is true, it’s just not real. That’s what a parable is. It takes things that we all know are real, and it takes life events that actually happens, and it weaves them into a fiction that allows truth to actually be embedded.

In the immediate postwar era, financial crises in advanced countries were rare events, and before 1970 did not happen at all.
