2008 global economic crisis
From Wikiversity
The global economic crisis of 2008 was triggered initially by problems in the US credit and housing markets, but from there has spread to the rest of the world's economies. This initiative will try to explain how this happened, what measures have been taken to reduce the bad effects, and so forth.
[edit] Methods
- Survey wikimedia participants on how it has affected them?
- Survey wikimedia participants on their understanding?
- Come up with timelines and connections showing how the problem spread from one sector to another, and from one national economy to another.
- Discursive materials for floating ideas and solutions, discussion preferably including both economists and non-economists.
