Investigate the causes and effects of the 2008 Financial Crisis or The Great Recession. You will have to delve deep into the banking structures and practices, as well as the government response to the crisis. Create a report of your findings. Your report may be in any form you wish essay,etc.

Imagine that you are trying to explain the 2008 Financial crisis to a person from the 1930’s (remember that other crisis, the Great Depression) or to someone your age or older who has never heard of it (perhaps they were in a coma for a decade!). Essentially, your goal is to explain the problem in terms that are easy to understand.
