It's about the commercial paper market, a leading backing market served by Lehman Brothers, and the events that led to "breaking the buck" on money market funds.
Additionally, it examines the potential impact that CDSs had on the crisis, the CDS marketplace where Lehman was such a big player, and the notion and validity of the also - large-to-fail theory.
