I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain my understanding of the liquidity crisis that was the latest and most panic-stricken phase of the ongoing financial crisis.<\/p>\n

I’ve created a series of charts – trying to put all the different factors in perspective.<\/p>\n

(For those who are going to say the government – and especially Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – played a role in causing this mess aside from the lack of regulation, and failing to act to prevent Lehman Brothers from collapsing – the government is given a greater role in the section that is expanded on in the “Housing Prices decline” chart that I haven’t posted yet. If you see a greater government role in the events and factors here – as some who read this previous piece of mine<\/a> did – than let me know where – because I haven’t really seen any specific explanations that seemed convincing.)<\/p>\n
