Have you heard people talk about the 2008 financial crash but never been entirely sure what actually happened and who is to blame? Ever wondered what people mean when they talk about the housing bubble, CDOs or sub-prime loans? Then this course is for you. Over five lessons, this programme will break down complicated financial terms and provide an overview of the financial crash, as well as a timeline of what happened. No previous political or economic knowledge is required, as this course starts with the basics and builds up. During this course, students will learn to think critically about the political economy and to talk confidently about this topic, using financial terms.
