This study argues that this case should be viewed as a systemic crisis, highlighting the fragility of the US banking system. Although the turmoil in the banking sector gradually subsided owing to the strong intervention of the US government, it has not ended. Instead, the banking turmoil has transformed into a long-lasting “slow crisis,” which can be characterized as “boiling a frog in warm water,” presenting a comprehensive socio–economic crisis. From a historical and global perspective, the current banking crisis in the US has developed against the backdrop of the once-in-a-century changes that shape the world. Furthermore, its evolutionary path will be different from that of previous ones.展开更多
