The 2008-09 global financial crisis is a familiar topic in this decades to understanding its implications for future. Nowadays, the world faced much more than a financial crisis. In addition, side effects of the financial crisis must be half of a discussion in order to understand holistically about the consequences that led to the global financial crisis and spread the effect around the world. The 2008-09 crisis in general changed the world’s economic and financial landscape as a whole. In order to understanding this issues as a whole, there is the two basic types of costs for investors and consumers: economic costs and financial costs. Both are interrelated each other and tend influence each other. The world economy was faced by financial and its deepest downturn in decades and the first simultaneously recession in the industrial world since the first oil crisis of 1973-74. The International Monetary Fund significantly reduces its forecasts for global 2009 real growth from 2.2 percent to 0.5 percent, as the macroeconomic implications of the financial crisis became better understood, and as the depth of the financial crisis itself became apparent,. This reduction occurred only three months after the IMF’s earlier forecast. At that time, many industrialized countries faced by their financial crisis. This statement was state in a book Global Financial Crisis: Impact and Solutions by Paolo Savona, he said, “ . . . the industrialized countries were the hit hardest with the forecasts of their real growth dropping to a declined of 2 percent down from the October estimate of a modest 0.5 percent. Hardest hit was the United States, where growth was expected to declined by 1.6 percent from the earlier estimate zero...” (Paolo Savona, 201...

...administration asked for $700 billion to buy troubled mortgage assets and get the financial system flowing again. . .” According to his report, we can say that the U.S.A especially Bush is in a trouble which the financial crisis was occur during his administration. During this time, stock markets in Western nations saw their values increase rapidly with growth in the new Internet sector and related fields. The period was also marked by the founding of a new group Internet-based companies commonly referred to as “dot-coms”. The venture capitalists saw record-setting rises in stock valuations of dot-com companies, and they take an action to move fast, and choosing to mitigate the risk by starting many companies and letting the market decide which would succeed. They choose this way because they assume this is the best way to mitigate and restore the financial crisis.
The financial crisis of 2007–2008 is considered by many economists the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This crisis resulted in the threat of total collapse of large financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments, and downturns in stock markets around the world. The crisis led to a series of events including: the 2008–2012 global recessions and the European sovereign-debt crisis. The reasons of this financial crisis are argued by economists. The performance of the Federal Reserve becomes a focal point in this argument.
This paper aims to discuss the Short-Term and Long-Term Impacts of the Great Recession and
Many people today would consider the 2008, United States financial crisis a simple “malfunction” or “mistake”, but it was nothing close to that. Contrary to what many believe, renowned economists and financial advisors regarded the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 to be the most devastating crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930’s. To make matters worse, the decline in the economy expanded nationwide, resulting in the recession of 2007 to 2009 (Brue). David Einhorn, CEO of GreenHorn Capital, even goes as far as to say "What strikes me the most about the recent credit market crisis is how fast the world is trying to go back to business as usual. In my view, the crisis wasn't an accident. We didn't get unlucky. The crisis came because there have been a lot of bad practices and a lot of bad ideas". The 2007 financial crisis was composed of the fall of many major financial institutions, an unknown increase in mortgage loan defaults, and the derived freezing up of credit availability (Brue). It was the result from risky mortgage loans and falling estate values (Brue) . Additionally, the financial crisis of 2007 was the result of underestimation of risk by faulty insurance securities made to protect holders of mortgage-back securities from risk of default and holders of mortgage-backed securities (Brue). Even to present day, America stills suffers from the aftermaths of the financial crisis.
The national debt surfaced after the revolution when the United States government had to borrow funds from the French government and from the Dutch bankers. By 1790, the U.S. government accumulated millions in debt, but no one knew precisely how much. The Constitution mandated that the new government take over the debts of the old government under the Articles of Confederation.
What caused the Great Recession that lasted from December 2007 to June 2009 in the United States? The United States a country with abundance of resources from jobs, education, money and power went from one day of economic balance to the next suffering major dimensions crisis. According to the Economic Policy Institute, it all began in 2007 from the credit crisis, which resulted in an 8 trillion dollar housing bubble (n.d.). This said by Economist analysts to attributed to the collapse in the United States. Even today, strong debates continue over major issues caused by the Great Recession in part over the accommodative federal monetary and fiscal policy (Economic Policy Institute, 2013). The Great Recession of 2007 – 2009 enlarges the longest financial crisis since the Great Depression of 1929 – 1932 that damaged the economy.

In economics, a recession occurs when there is a slowdown in the spending of goods and services in the market. A recession causes a drop in employment, GDP growth, investment, as well as societal well-being. All recessions are caused by a specific cause, but the Great Recession of 2007-2009 was caused by a crash in the housing market. This crash was triggered by a steep decline in housing prices. All of a sudden, people bought houses because there was an excessive amount of money in the economy and they thought the price of houses would only increase. (Amadeo, 2012). There was a financial frenzy as the growing desire for homes expanded. People held a lot of faith in the economy and began spending irrationally on houses that they couldn’t afford. This led to overvalued estate and unsustainable mortgage debt. (McConnell, Brue, Flynn, 2012).
To the nations rescue, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected and provided many alternative solutions for the repair of America. Roosevelt supplied hundreds of thousands with jobs. He also had acts passed that saved banks and found solutions to protect American jobs. The beginning of World War II marked the ultimate end of the depression.
Under the global financial crisis (GFC) beginning in 2008, higher pressures are on leadership. In 2008, after the crisis happening, it is extremely serious. It has become the great depression of the most serious crisis after the 30s of last century. It influenced widely on the global economy. Global financial crisis has destroyed millions of businesses and companies. People who want to find out the resources have aimed to the leaders. The GFC makes many companies, which are looking like strong and high level, bankrupt in short time. A serious problem has come out. Who should pay for these consequences? At this time, the leaders are definitely becoming the scapegoats in some situation. More condemnations including greedy, morally bankrupt, self-interests are on the people who are accused to cause the GFC. The intention of this discussion is to explain the leadership challenges and strategies in a post-GFC world and the society now.it also gives examples to compare the innovative leadership. It will be from different ways to analyze.
The "subprime crises" was one of the most significant financial events since the Great Depression and definitely left a mark upon the country as we remain upon a steady path towards recovering fully. The financial crisis of 2008, became a defining moment within the infrastructure of the US financial system and its need for restructuring. One of the main moments that alerted the global economy of our declining state was the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers on Sunday, September 14, 2008 and after this the economy began spreading as companies and individuals were struggling to find a way around this crisis. (Murphy, 2008) The US banking sector was first hit with a crisis amongst liquidity and declining world stock markets as well. The subprime mortgage crisis was characterized by a decrease within the housing market due to excessive individuals and corporate debt along with risky lending and borrowing practices. Over time, the market apparently began displaying more weaknesses as the global financial system was being affected. With this being said, this brings into question about who is actually to assume blame for this financial fiasco. It is extremely hard to just assign blame to one individual party as there were many different factors at work here. This paper will analyze how the stakeholders created a financial disaster and did nothing to prevent it as the credit rating agencies created an amount of turmoil due to their unethical decisions and costly mistakes.
