The Reasons Behind Global Economic Crisis

It is now fairly established that  the recent crisis in US sub-prime housing market is the  primary reason behind the global economic melt-down. In order to fully understand the dynamics and depth of current global recession, It is very important to know what led us to this crisis. I have found the illustration below very thought-provoking and useful. It helped me explain the reasons effectively.

The visual guide to the financial crisis:

We all know, Alan Greenspan and Bush said they are sorry for the Global economic crisis. But do you know what Greenspan said in 2003?

“The notion of bubble bursting and the whole price level coming down seems to me as far as a national nationwide phenomenon, is really quite unlikely,” By Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve Chairman, in 2003.
