Fires and floods, we’re hardwired to accept them or at least file them under Bad Things Happening. But there’s something so abstract and so modern about a bank making a technical mistake about how it funded its obligations to depositors, and suddenly you’re out of work.

My mum’s from a very rural village in Nigeria, she grew up in a war, and for her it was really important that my brothers and I knew how to fend for ourselves. My dad bought me a Swiss army knife for my 13th birthday and we used to go camping and he showed me how to light fires.
