I was attracted by the title. Did cocaine use by bankers cause the global financial crisis? This is definitely a genius title, combining drug issue, celebrities, and what people care most about, money.

Let’s treat the title as a serious question. Thanks to Prof. Gateman, I learn to define a question before answering.

First, what is the ‘global financial crisis’ on earth? Inflation? Currency devaluation? Credit crunch? What is it?

And why ‘bankers’? Are bankers the only group of people who take cocaine? Are bankers the only group people who potentially affect the global financial trend? Why not economists? Why not Jobs? (No offence.)

Why ‘cocaine’? Is cocaine the only substance stimulates people’s brain and makes people 110% believe what they are talking about but indeed know nothing about it? According to my experience, Vodka works as well.

What I want to say here is that this article does not have any great reference value apart from its genius title. Probably I’ll make it as my blog title this time, but I need to change it a little bit apparently.

How about this? Did cocaine use by bankers truly cause ‘the global financial crisis’?

And I’ll say, “I don’t think so.”
