As an economist, I am supposed to have something intelligent to say 
about the current financial crisis. To be honest, however, I haven't 
got the foggiest idea what this all means. So I did what I always do 
when something related to banking arises: I knocked on the doors of my 
colleagues Doug Diamond and Anil Kashyap, and asked them for the 
answers. What they told me was so interesting and insightful that I 
begged them to write their explanations down for a broader audience. 
They were kind enough to take the time to do so. In what follows, they 
discuss what has happened in the financial sector in the last few 
days, why it happened, and what it means for everyday people.
