This Science piece on leverage being “the root of all financial turmoil” is interesting (will follow up on it), though a). I doubt leverage is “the” (only) root of the problem; b). we all know that leverage had a large impact, within classical Economics–see, e.g., Bob Solow’s discussion on that, in his critical review of Posner’s recent book. But well, Science prefers to cite econophysicists.
