model
Rules-based institutions and culture make people believe the game is fair, so collapses look like natural gravity or moral failure rather than engineered events.
diagnosis
Jiang argues 2008 did not have to collapse from defaults alone because banks could have rolled defaults forward within an illusion-based money system.
model
The incentive to collapse the system comes when betting against defaults becomes more profitable than keeping borrowers current.
diagnosis
Jiang says private credit and AI bubbles do not have to collapse because insider lenders can keep losing companies alive; collapse happens when a few actors profit by triggering it.
diagnosis
Jiang describes the 2008 financial crisis as an engineered collapse in which major actors knew the system was unsustainable and hedge funds plus banks profited by betting against CDOs.
