What really caused the 2008 financial crisis? In this episode of the GrassRoots TruthCast, economist and author Todd Sheets breaks down the events that led to the global financial meltdown. From the rise of the housing bubble in the late 1990s to the collapse of the mortgage market in 2007-2008, we explore the policies, institutions, and economic decisions that triggered one of the worst financial crises in modern history.
Todd explains:
• How the housing bubble began in 1998
• The role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in shaping the housing market
• Why the financial system collapsed in 2007–2008
• How government intervention and monetary policy influenced the crisis
• Lessons policymakers must learn to avoid repeating the same mistakes
The conversation also dives into broader economic themes including tariffs, globalization, China's rise, and the future of capitalism.
If you want to understand what really happened during the 2008 financial crash and how it still affects housing today, this discussion breaks it down clearly.
