A. The immediate cause of the Great Recession of 2008-9 was a financial crisis that arose because many people who had borrowed money for housing
were unable to make their payments. Why did the mortgage crisis happen, and once it happened, why did it threaten the entire financial system, not
just mortgage lenders? Discuss the roles played by mortgage lenders, government financing agencies (like FNMA and FHMC), mortgage securities (like
MBS and CDOs), rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P), government bank regulators and credit default swap issuers (like AIG).
B. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was the chief government response to the crisis. Did the program “solve” the housing crisis by
stabilizing banks that made mortgage loans, decreasing foreclosures and stopping falling housing prices? Why or why not?
C. Is the crisis in housing behind us? Why or why not?
