By ATİLLA YAYLA: The crisis in the financial markets and financial institutions that has affected the US and the UK and has the potential to slowly spread from these countries to other countries throughout the world has given the circles that hate the monster known as capitalism the chance to raise their voices once again. Opponents of the concept of a market economy, both right wing and left

Most philosophers think that the past is one of the greatest sources of answers to present questions. For instance, in the world of the housing industry, the collapse of the subprime market actually started the foreclosure crisis. If you have been confused with this nationwide problem, it will be better if you learn about what happened.

High prices rather than tightening credit conditions are curbing Canadian home buyers’ enthusiasm, says a new Desjardins Economic Studies report that argues Canada is not headed for a U.S.-style housing market collapse. “Price advances had been supported by fundamentals - strong employment and low interest rates - not softening credit conditions. Canada’s real estate market [...]

The global credit crisis has had its share of impact on the commodities sector both in India and globally which was not the case in the first half of 2008 when the sector seemed to be insulated from the crisis.

This week’s events have severely shaken the confidence of many in the U.S. economy, our currency, and world wide markets as a whole. Many politicians seem certain that times will get a lot worse.

The worst financial crisis since the Great Depression has forced the Federal Reserve (the Fed) and central banks in other countries to inject billions of dollars into the world's banking system in an urgent bid to cut total global financial collapse.

We teach the Great Depression as history. We teach that after so many American banks went bankrupt in the 1930s, the government instituted proper regulation so that banks would never be able to fail and confidence will always be maintained in the banking system.For a long time, this notion of banking infallibility was well ingrained in the national psyche. It was just taken for granted that banks

This video may be about the US but I'm guessing it also applies to the UK. We may think we are richer than previous generations, but in fact we are spending more on housing, healthcare and have more debt, even though we generally have two parents in work. The problem with having two parents in work is we have no slack in the system. If one parent falls ill or loses their job, we pretty quickly r

From: “Financial” Crisis? Our leading financial institutions have gone over the line, the result being what financial reporters call a “crisis”. This is not a question concerning economic orientation. These are questions of morality, criminality and national character. The major-league bunko artists that have brought this nation to the brink of ruin took their lead from practices perfected down on the farm. In the minor leagues of high finance, certain sectors of our lending establishment have long feasted on the desperate and naïve elements of our society living from paycheck to paycheck. These seedy practices are widespread and readily apparent in the car- loan, check cashing, credit card, student loan, and paycheck loan operations that prey on these despe

By Brain Wallstin [03.12.08] - 1992 reads Normally, this is a slow time of year for the Winooski-based Vermont Student Assistance Corp., which loans hundreds of millions of dollars annually to parents and students looking to finance higher education. But the latest crisis on Wall Street has the state’s largest student lender scrambling to secure $190 million to meet the demand for loans it expects to make this fall. The apparent collapse last month of the auction-rate securities market, which VSAC relies on to finance its lending, poses no threat to students who have already borrowed, said Scott Giles, the agency’s vice president of policy, planning and research. However, it has threatened the short-term financial viability of VSAC, which currently lacks nearly hal

The financial and economic crisis now upon us is by far the most menacing of the past century - even more so than the Great Depression of the 1930s. It is not just a "subprime" crisis; it is systemic - affecting the entire financial system. It is also global, affecting various countries in various ways but affecting them all. In achieving a certain "globalization", we have been uniquely successful in globalizing collapse, chaos and misery. It is a globalization which, in our short-sighted negligence, we never envisaged. In this crisis, even a country such as Australia is no more than a subordinate, neo-colonial, financial and economic dependency. In essence, we have reverted to what we were before and during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when Whitehall, Westminster and the B

The hedge fund was cautious in trading prime jumbo mortgage funds with low levels of default. Tequesta would have continued its success, had it not been for the unexpected stall in the ma

As the old adage goes, when America sneezes, the world catches a cold. And despite the appearance of a multi-polar world, recent rumblings in the world of global finance suggest this saying still holds. Yet, the economic downturn is having effects much wider-reaching than the world of subprime and Bear Stearns. This week, economists noted the role of rising Asian inflation on the rise in price for a number of products sold in the U.S.. Inflation has been on the rise worldwide, but coupled with troubles in the labor market, rising costs of everyday goods are causing many to cut costs and reduce everyday spending. Along the same lines as consumer prices, the rising cost of food is also causing worry worldwide. Whether it's due to rising fuel costs that make transporting goods to the marke

An Opinion By Richard LourieThough the Constitution does not say it in so many words, the main task of the Russian president is to keep the country from falling apart. In taking the oath of office, the president swears to protect “the security and integrity of the state.”Russia has collapsed twice in the less than a 100 years, in 1917 and again in 1991, and there is no assurance that it won’t happen again. True, it has come back strong each time — first as the Soviet Union and now as the Russian Federation — but there are only so many times you can pull off that trick. The next collapse will surely be the last.Though flush with cash and newfound power, Russia’s leadership remains traumatized by the sinking of the Soviet Union. The real shock was how quick and easy it was. That
