Timeline of the Financial Crisis

In Urban Economics many of our discussions have been centered on the financial crisis-when the stock market hit in 2008 and the aftermath of this hit. Considering in 2008 I was a senior in high school and did not know much about finance, I though I would good to provide a timeline to refresh everyone’s memory to better understand what exactly happened. The Federal Reserve of St. Louis has provided a detailed time line of the events that happened in regards to the financial crisis from 2008 up until now.

  1. This is actually really helpful, thanks for posting it! I'm surprised at how much is going on in like August of 2007, that seems like not that long ago but a lot has happened since then.

  2. Yea geez! I was sophomore in high school in 2007 and was not aware in the slightest of the magnitude of what was going on. It's crazy to look at the timeline and know that so much could have been prevented. So much has happened in 4 short years!
