September 2008. Lehman Brothers implodes. Markets freeze. Within hours, the panic spreads from Manhattan to Frankfurt to Shanghai. At the United Nations, world leaders scramble to make sense of what's happening. The Philippines president calls it a "terrible tsunami." Argentina's leader points out the bitter irony-after decades of America lecturing the world about fiscal discipline, it's now implementing the biggest government intervention in memory. French President Sarkozy declares the end of American financial dominance. What seemed like a housing bubble in Nevada has somehow threatened to collapse the entire global economy. For years, economists warned about America's mounting trade deficits and dependence on foreign funding, especially from China. The nightmare scenario involved foreign creditors losing faith in the dollar, triggering a painful adjustment. But when catastrophe struck, it came from an unexpected direction-not from Treasury bonds or trade imbalances, but from ordinary mortgages packaged into complex securities that almost no one fully understood. What made 2008 so shocking was how a "humdrum" real estate downturn nearly destroyed the world economy. The transmission mechanism wasn't foreign governments dumping American debt. Instead, European banks had become deeply entangled in America's mortgage machine.
