Abstract

The magnitude and dramatic consequences of the current "financial crisis" are publicly well documented. Even non professionals may read in, say, newspapers about notions like "derivatives", "over the counter deals", "complexity of contracts", "insufficient regulation" or "impossible to understand portfolios" while reading about bankruptcy or bailouts of big financial institutions.
