I want to reshape things for a moment because we are falling into a general discussion. The lead-up to the property crash and the financial and banking crash happened over a good number of years and was multifaceted with many dynamics. The period of the guarantee, however, is a very significant period in terms of a timeline. How does Dr. Mercille view the media’s coverage of the guarantee in the lead-up to it, the day it was announced and the period afterwards?
