This is an interesting take that I’ve never really heard before. It makes intuitive sense, but do you have anything more in depth to read on it? Book or article or longer version of the argument, or a history of some kind? Very curious, thanks.

Not the original poster, but the book "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One" by William K. Black (former bank regulator during the S&L crisis) might shed some light onto the S&L crisis, if not 2008's comparative response, though not directly.

Check out the Calculated Risk blog, where I learned almost everything I know about the events leading up to the Great Financial Crisis, and the GFC itself.
