In this video we discuss the hidden shocking facts of the 2008 financial crisis. This is explained in 12 minutes. A 158-year-old bank collapsed overnight—and the shockwave became the 2008 Financial Crisis. This video breaks down, in simple language, how cheap interest rates after the dot-com crash and 9/11 fueled a housing frenzy, how risky subprime and NINJA loans spread, and how Wall Street repackaged those mortgages into “safe” products. We’ll uncover the conflict behind AAA ratings, the rise of MBS and CDOs, and how Credit Default Swaps turned mortgage failure into a massive chain reaction. Then we follow the crash: falling home prices, surging defaults, Lehman’s bankruptcy, frozen credit markets, global contagion, and the bailouts (TARP, AIG) and Fed response (near-zero rates, QE). Finally, we examine the human cost—jobs, foreclosures, inequality—and the lesson: privatized profits, socialized losses.
Discussed points:
Post-9/11 rates and easy money
Housing boom + reckless lending
MBS/CDOs + rating agency conflicts
CDS, leverage, systemic fragility
Lehman, global recession, bailouts + QE
Main Street fallout and Occupy Wall Street
