when you need third-order differential equations to calculate where (if..?) Responsibility lies -- in a plethora of these new so-called "financial instruments" -- the entire Moloch game has reached a new sub-basement of obscurity-by-design.

Methinks such earlier terms as 'velocity of money' and the ludiocrous idea [not original with moi] of there being a Nobel Prize! in Econ (the social-science patina of Moloch) - these regular language atrocities have been eclipsed by this new overlay of Obscurantism: to become the stealth method of white collar crime, whereby the evidence-trail is consistently rolled up behind. Who ya gonna Sue when the pyramid collapses?

(Surely the onset of these scams is conceptually related to the stark fact of that easy-acceptance of a similar obscurantism -- that propaganda which sold the invasions, with nary a peep. From that fait accompli -- the 'market' was (correctly) adjudged incompetent. So why not steal the suspenders, too?)

von K\ufffdrm\ufffdn needed quite less complex math to caculate the probable resonant frequency of the Tacoma Narrows bridge and likely windspeed needed to excite that. Econ formulas have become as disconnected from actual Life as those religio calculations re the 'Seven Seals', done via assigning numerical values to some committee-written text + proper colored smoke.

Surely we can expect more of the same, until Some marks finally notice! the haemorrhage stains, call the loans. Start the dominoes falling. THEN we'll see some "velocity of money".

Gullible species, about specie too - got a half-life calculation?
