I'm using the word in its common meaning. You're right that deregulation is itself a regulatory regime--call it less regulation. The fact remains that this crisis happened under the regime of less regulation, not more regulation, and therefore the crisis itself isn't attributable to regulation per se. I think it shows there's better regulation and worse regulation.
