This post lists 24 videos where individuals discuss the crisis. Some of them were directly involved (ex. Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase bank). Some were only commenting afterward, though they may have been doing analysis (as business leaders or politicians or economists) during the crisis.
Key is that they list many things or actions or individuals who did something wrong. The list of the culpable is long. However, as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers remarked, "Stupidity is not a crime."
Many specific individuals or things are repeatedly mentioned, but it's quite surprising how many individual things are only mentioned by one of the speakers in these videos. There were rather a lot of causes of this crisis.
A couple of these videos are over an hour, but most are less than 20 minutes and many are less than 5 minutes.
When you watch these videos & movies, it's hard to believe. There were so many things that went wrong. It's as though everyone had a breakdown and became crazed to make money in the most inventive ways. That's the way crises often begin -- with a mania, but they end with a panic.
I believe there are some other reasons (believe it or not), but they are speculation and not to be found in YouTube videos.
