, Abstract
In the fall of 2008, the world faced a worsening financial crisis. Many governments
mobilized to avoid a very brutal recession in their economies. However, there was great
uncertainty about the possibility of effectively stabilizing the world economy. However,
experts have taken a hopeful approach that a more stable and less speculative world economy
could emerge from the collapse of the many overblown economies that have emerged since
2002. The current financial crisis was triggered by the stock market crash of 2008, which led
to a recession with multiple bankruptcies, rising unemployment, falling wages and purchasing
power and social tensions. The subprime crisis fueled the crash, followed by liquidity and
confidence, which led to a rise in interbank interest rates and subsequently a fall in prices. It
happened in every country in the world.
It clearly demonstrated the fragility and failures of many national and international
institutions and the global financial system. It emerged in the financial markets and quickly
escalated into the continued collapse of banks and stock markets, ultimately affecting the real
economy with significant consequences for employment. Spark was born in the United States,
but soon all European countries, especially England and Germany, were significantly affected
by serious repercussions. Although its tangible effects were felt in the third and fourth
quarters of 2007 and peaked in September 2008, its roots go much deeper. In reality, they can
already be seen in the innovations that arose in the financial system in the 90s, with the
development of the so-called creative finance and trading operations. These new tools, which
go hand in hand with the lack of control of financial institutions, contributed to the birth of the
speculative bubble, a classic consequence of mass psychology phenomena such as the herd
effect.
