Default 10 Financial Myths Busted

I understand why this time period is being called unprecedented...but really, I don't agree. This is the same pattern as any other recession...or depression...or panic...

The only difference is, it's more global, but then IMHO that's a product of technological efficiency in transactions, not of totally new marvels in how we think about money.
