Financial crisis of 2007–2010

the crisis of 2008. I was able to participate in many trips such as Toronto, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, and of course Chicago. Toronto, Chicago, and Pittsburgh are all very similar cities. Yet, Chicago always stuck out to me as a city to visit for the purpose of knowledge in business. There was a distinct day in Chicago where my passion was ignited by the complexity of the industry. The day of significance was when my father took us onto the Skydeck of the famous Willis tower, home to a financial…

policies and other changes in country while its citizens are still in shock and have to deal with the crises at hand. I agree with Klein’s statement that countries often use Shock Therapy to deal with crises and in my essay I will specifically look at financial crises.

Many people blame the 2008 financial crisis on the financial industry. Is that true? Does the financial industry really responsible for the 2008 financial crisis? I argue no.

If I could put the problems in a rating system based on Professor Corcoran’s thoughts I would say that banks becoming greedy was the main reason for the crisis. The banks rolled the…

2008 Economic Crisis, their perspectives, cinematographic techniques, and graphic designs result in a similarly critical yet different film. Hence, it is difficult to decide which one is more effective. Inasmuch as I read The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis before I saw the movie, I have to say Inside Job was better at exploring the financial services industry and unfolding how the crisis became a global issue. If The Big Short has explained how this economic crisis can…
