That "postmortem" explains nothing at all about how real estate factored in. I'd have to be in-the-know enough to understand that people overinvested in real estate partly because they could get loans easily from low interest rates. But even then, doesn't cover how financial markets were repackaging mortgages and hiding or miscalculating the risk.

If you listen to the episode, or even scan the transcript, you'll find that all of this covered. For a one hour show, it does an amazing job of putting everything together.

Ah, I misunderstood because from what I read, it sounded like the part you quoted was supposed to cover all that happened.
