The 2008 Financial Crisis didn’t happen overnight. It was the
result of years of risky lending, subprime mortgages, complex
financial products, and a housing market that seemed impossible
to stop.

In this episode, we break down how the subprime mortgage boom
turned into one of the biggest financial disasters in modern
history. From banks handing out loans to borrowers who couldn’t
afford them, to mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps,
the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the global panic that
followed.

We’ll uncover the chain of decisions that brought the financial
system to the edge, explain who made money along the way, who
ultimately paid the price, and why the effects of 2008 are still
being felt today.

If you’ve ever wondered how a housing crash in the United States
nearly brought down the entire global economy, this is the story.
