2008-2009 Financial Crisis Causes and Effects - 0 views

  •  
    While this article identifies how credit is a major cause of the economic crisis, it goes one step further to describe the cause of the credit crisis, which is greed.

    Like many other resources, this articles identifies the poor housing market as one of the main contributors to the economic crisis.
