2005 Presentation forewarning financial crisis

Here is a 2005 presentation by Raghuran Rajan titled: Has Financial Development made the World Riskier?

Its remarkable just how many people (experts, that is; 99.9% of laypeople probably never had a clue) forewarned of the dangers of the credit bubble. Of course, my impression could be due to a survivorship bias, and in fact, very few experts actually saw it coming.
