Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Trade / Anti Trust Law / Business Law, grade: 13 Punkte, University of Augsburg (Uni-Augsburg / Pepperdine University (Malibu, Kalifornien)), course: Seminar Frauenchiemsee July 18. 2008 to July 20. 2008, language: English, abstract: The work is about the current subprime and financial crisis in Amerika being the trigger for the following global economic crash/depression since 2008. It answeres the questions on: why did it happen (and finally who is to be blamed for mostly); how it could have been averted; and what has to be done, in the predominant part concerning legislation, to averting such a disaster in the future.

Were states like Georgia (and Mew Mexico, New Jersey) forced, for these predatory lending methods, to implement borrowers protection acts, long before the crisis became vivid, like the 2001 Georgia Fair Lending Act (GFLA), but those efforts were stopped through the intervention of the Feds before the Officer of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) who pre-empted those laws as far as it was in conflict with federal banking law , making them that way worthless.
