Financial Crisis

 
The financial crisis that began in 2007 was the result of a liquidity shortfall in the United States banking system. It has led to the downfall of major financial institutions, the "bail out" of banks by national governments and downturns in stockmarkets around the world. Many economists consider it the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. (Photo: Flickr)
