3 quotes from The Big Short

"In the end, people could be forgiven for thinking that the whole of financial regulation is all a giant game of musical chairs, in which a few people end up with the seats at the end, but generally it is a group of people who do not know what they are doing, implementing rules that they do not understand."
"What really happened is a story of the human tendency to ignore evidence that goes against one’s beliefs, to trust everyone, and to chase the allure of quick money – even when it’s based on something that makes no sense at all."
"The whole financial system is a giant house of cards, and it took extraordinary willpower and creativity to see it for what it was: a very fragile construction, waiting for someone to take the first card out."
