'Too big to fail' institutions: #3 cause of the perfect recession

In continuation of Dr. Steve Price's book "Surviving the Perfect Recession," Price discusses financial institutions deemed "too big to fail." Price explains in medical terminology:

The world economy had a heart attack in September 2008. The banking system stopped pumping i.e. AIG, Citigroup, etc. Government played emergency room doctor to get $700 billion bailout money called the defibrillator, shocked the heart, restored the heartbeat, and stabilized the patient [i.e banking system]. If the heart dies, the blood supply [i.e capital] to the organs [i.e. big businesses] and cells [i.e. you and I and everyone else] is cut off.
