The second view proved to be spectacularly wrong. Within 24 hours of Lehman’s failure, the US authorities were scrambling to prevent asset fire sales, a run on money market mutual funds, the collapse of other investment banks (such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs), and even the demise of large, integrated, global banks (such as Citigroup).
第二个观点大错特错。雷曼兄弟倒闭不出24小时，美国当局就不得不四处奔波防止资产紧急甩卖、货币市场共同基金挤兑以及其他投资银行（如美林、摩根士丹利和高盛）甚至大规模综合性全球银行（如花旗）破产。
