"Much of the worry about a cataclysm today focuses on the credit markets, where complex derivatives attempt to reduce risk but actually may heighten it. Still, catastrophe often strikes where and when it is least expected. Could today's infrastructure handle a massive global stock market panic? The frightening truth is that no one really knows."
— Matthew Rees, The American, October 2007
