Over the past few years, we have been living through a financial crises.
The problems emerged sometime in 2007, and by 2009 there were indications that the financial crisis was behind us.
But recently, concerns about the financial / debt crisis have emerged again. Economists believe that the crisis was never over – it had just paused, and is now back to haunt us again!
What exactly is the financial crisis? How did it happen?
Here is a short video that explains exactly how this financial crisis happened.
