Transcribed Image Text:In 2008, the United States began to witness one of the worst recessions since the 1930s. The collapse of the housing bubble in 2006 led to a massive

States as well as other global markets led to a serious credit crisis. During the credit crisis of 2008-2009, several banks and other businesses went
