The e-book exhibits that the elements generally talked about (e. g. subprime loans, fall in housing costs) have occurred in the previous and subsequently can not account for the severity of the current disaster. There should be “something else”. The evaluation exhibits that there was a “phase transition” in the United States round 1975 which introduced the next adjustments: – The stagnation of actual wages over the previous 30 years and a parallel rise in indebtment ranges. – The abrupt fall in unionization charges and in the variety of strikes. – The improvement of tax havens which disadvantaged states of tax income. – The globalization of economic transactions which hinders long-term funding.
