Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Trade / Anti Trust Law / Business Law, grade: 13 Punkte, University of Augsburg (Uni-Augsburg / Pepperdine University (Malibu, Kalifornien)), course: Seminar Frauenchiemsee July 18. 2008 to July 20. 2008, language: English, abstract: The work is about the current subprime and financial crisis in Amerika being the trigger for the following global economic crash/depression since 2008. It answeres the questions on: why did it happen (and finally who is to be blamed for mostly); how it could have been averted; and what has to be done, in the predominant part concerning legislation, to averting such a disaster in the future.
