Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A final review question asks for the best overall explanation of the Great Recession. Which answer is the most complete and historically defensible?

AThe recession was caused only by one household missing a payment

BThe recession had no connection to housing or credit

CThe recession was simply a normal seasonal slowdown

DA housing bubble, risky lending, securitization, leverage, weak oversight, and panic interacted to produce a financial crisis and deep recession
