Abstract: 
In this brief, Senior Scholar Jan Kregel reviews Hyman P. Minsky's concept of financial fragility - in short, that the structure of a capitalist economy becomes more fragile over a period of prosperity - and concludes that the current crisis is in fact the result of insufficient margins of safety based on how creditworthiness is assessed in the new originate and distribute financial system.
