Have you heard about the impending commercial real estate collapse? Was the government pressuring lenders to lend to business also? No. The community reinvestment act had a little to do with the crisis, but not much. Both republicans and democrats supported the act also. Lending practices were just non-existent for 5 years which led to somewhat fake economic growth. Actually, the government had less to do with this than a lot of people would have you believe.

One part that is missing is the government complicity and influence on all of this. During the Clinton and Bush administration serious pressure was put on financial institutions (including Fannie and Freddie) to extend loans to those who typically would not qualify. Serious regulations were put in place to ensure that a percentage of unsecured homeowners were given a pass on credit issues... see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs Great stuff!

In the past decade, book value has been averaging less than a quarter of the market value of the average company. This is because of the growing importance of intangibles in our economy. So when you say that book value is theoretically the "amount you would receive if the company is liquidated, you are ignoring the value of all the intangibles like knowledge, process, intellectual property, brands and relationships--and these are the assets that actually drive value in companies today.
