'In 2007 it began. "Toxic debts" caused "credit crunches" requiring "massive bailouts". Governments gave us "decisive action" and "stimulus packages". It was an emergency - we needed to spend our way out of trouble. The system was to blame. Corporate greed was to blame. Irresponsible lending practices were to blame. A few rotten apples were to blame. Capitalism was to blame. No one was to blame.
'A time of prosperity came crashing to a halt, and as ordinary citizens, none of us really understood why. Two acclaimed performance groups, version 1.0 and post, have set out to find the answer. Two teams of extreme economic non-experts have boldly tackled what few could ever comprehend - the Global Financial Crisis.'
