In 1987 Gordon Gekko declared that greed is good, the creed of a decade of corporate and financial sector excesses the rise of junk bonds and the real estate bubble that ended up in a bust by 1988-89 with the collapse of the junk bond market and the S&L crisis following the real estate bust of the late 1980s and triggered a banking crisis and a painful recession in 1990.
