Lest we forget about the Great Recession of 2008, here’s a reminder of financial collapse. What led to this worldwide crisis?

Answer Subprime mortgage crisis and the collapse of the United States real estate market

Known as “Black Monday,” big names in finance faced a crisis. The US government bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, just to name a few. When all was said and done, the US government bailed out the big banks to a tune of $700 billion. Did they learn from their epic collapse? Time will tell.
