It’s from a Bremner, Bird and Fortune series called ‘Silly Money’, I think you can watch all 4 episodes on google video. Well worth a watch!

@EasyEight88
You’ll find investment banks lobbying for lower interest rates, and laxer lending standards was in fact the root cause of the crisis. The government just did their bidding, deregulating and letting the cheap money flow, something which made the banks very rich indeed, but also deluded and feverishly speculative.

@EasyEight88
If your on about HUD directing Fannie and Freddie to lend to below median income earners (known as Alt A mortgages) from the mid nineties onwards, that wasn’t the cause of the crisis. It played a very small part. Fannie and Freddie never got into subprime, they were legally barred from doing so.
Funny, but, …
Funny, but, completely leaves off WHY the banks started down this path. It started in the US when the Government FORCED them to make risky loans to low income people under the guise of social justice — let the poor all become homeowners. Oh. And the Government also GUARANTEED the loans in case of default. But as the video points out, they didn’t add much to the bank’s asset sheet. SO they turned lemons into lemonade, bundled good with bad loans and created CDOs. The stage was set for meltdown.

Some idiot somewhere asked the question which should have never been asked: “How much are these things worth?”

Your logic is as …
Your logic is as bad as the media’s. Your logic is capitalism exists. There is an economic crisis. Therefore capitalism has caused the economic crisis. That is a lot like Min Kumph (or however you spell it). This crisis was caused by fractional reserve banking, central banking and government sending the wrong information through the market. Community redevelopment act. China and India only did well since they became capitalist anyway. 13 year olds are a lot smarter than you think.

yes he was keep your language to yourself. capitalism is a failure as can be seen by the way the banks have plunged all the worlds economys into a recession, the boom dident come about because of the united states it was a global thing china and india becoming big buyers and producers, but since your all of 13 i dont expect you know that.
