History

Historical Context

The Great Recession, which began in December 2007 and peaked with Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy in September 2008, resulted from excessive speculation and risky lending practices. This crisis led to a 10% unemployment rate by October 2009 and significant corporate losses, notably for firms like MetLife.
