Derivatives became a popular instrument by 1986-87. Derivatives do not represent any real wealth.
Steadily investments in these derivatives went on increasing. Derivative total turnover was 1 billion $ or so in 1977.
Steadily there was huge investment in these derivatives. At the peak of economic crisis in US in 2007, the investment was to the tune of 3.7 trillion $ a day. Total unsettled derivatives at the peak crisis were to the tune of 596 trillion $.
The actual transactions represented by these derivatives were only 15 trillion $.
These derivatives represented no real wealth, no real worth, no real income, no real wages.
These were main reason of sudden collapse of US financial market.
