ABSTRACT This review paper examines some of the main Marxist-inspired interpretations of the Great Recession that were published in the form of books. From the broad set of publications on the subject, the following works were analyzed: The Great Financial Crisis, by John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff (2009); The Enigma of Capital, by David Harvey (2011), originally published in 2010; The Crisis of Neoliberalism, by Gérard Duménil and Dominique Lévy (2011); and The Failure of Capitalist Production, by Andrew Kliman (2012). It is argued that the Marxist debate about the ultimate causes of the Great Recession can be systematized from the following cleavage: 1) on the one hand, the authors who attribute the turbulence to the specific political/economic/institutional form assumed by the capitalist system over the last decades; 2) on the other hand, those who interpret the recent crisis as a manifestation of capitalist dynamics in general - and not the particular form that it supposedly assumes. While Foster and Magdoff (2009), Harvey (2011) and Duménil and Lévy (2011) belong to the first group, Kliman (2012) is a representative of the second strand.

The Federal National Mortgage Association, commonly known as Fannie Mae, was created by the U.S. congress in 1938, in order to maintain liquidity and stability in the domestic mortgage market. The company is a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), meaning that while it was a publicly traded company for most of its history, it was still supported by the federal government. While there is no legally binding guarantee of shares in GSEs or their securities, it is generally acknowledged that the U.S. government is highly unlikely to let these enterprises fail. Due to these implicit guarantees, GSEs are able to access financing at a reduced cost of interest. Fannie Mae's main activity is the purchasing of mortgage loans from their originators (banks, mortgage brokers etc.) and packaging them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in order to ease the access of U.S. homebuyers to housing credit. The early 2000s U.S. mortgage finance boom During the early 2000s, Fannie Mae was swept up in the U.S. housing boom which eventually led to the financial crisis of 2007-2008. The association's stated goal of increasing access of lower income families to housing finance coalesced with the interests of private mortgage lenders and Wall Street investment banks, who had become heavily reliant on the housing market to drive profits. Private lenders had begun to offer riskier mortgage loans in the early 2000s due to low interest rates in the wake of the "Dot Com" crash and their need to maintain profits through increasing the volume of loans on their books. The securitized products created by these private lenders did not maintain the standards which had traditionally been upheld by GSEs. Due to their market share being eaten into by private firms, however, the GSEs involved in the mortgage markets began to also lower their standards, resulting in a 'race to the bottom'. The fall of Fannie Mae The lowering of lending standards was a key factor in creating the housing bubble, as mortgages were now being offered to borrowers with little or no ability to repay the loans. Combined with fraudulent practices from credit ratings agencies, who rated the junk securities created from these mortgage loans as being of the highest standard, this led directly to the financial panic that erupted on Wall Street beginning in 2007. As the U.S. economy slowed down in 2006, mortgage delinquency rates began to spike. Fannie Mae's losses in the mortgage security market in 2006 and 2007, along with the losses of the related GSE 'Freddie Mac', had caused its share value to plummet, stoking fears that it may collapse. On September 7th 2008, Fannie Mae was taken into government conservatorship along with Freddie Mac, with their stocks being delisted from stock exchanges in 2010. This act was seen as an unprecedented direct intervention into the economy by the U.S. government, and a symbol of how far the U.S. housing market had fallen.

This phenomenological study explored how recent college graduates navigated from school to work during a recent economic downturn. More specifically, the study endeavored to understand the lived experiences of recent college graduates in a period of transition. Schlossberg’s (1984) transition theory and Arnett’s (2000) emerging adult theory framed the study. The conceptual underpinnings of both theories provided a foundation to understand the role of higher educational attainment in graduates’ time spent in the labor market to secure employment in dismal employment conditions. The heuristic value of each of the theories advanced understanding of the factors shaping the experiences of recent college graduates. This study sought an in-depth understanding of how recent college graduates handled disappointments and the types of coping resources that helped them reconcile old and new identities, exchange old tasks for new tasks, move into new responsibilities while they continued to carry on responsibilities leading to graduation and challenges associated with seeking employment. Participants’ emic stories provided expansion of the school-to-work phenomenon typically relegated to statistical reporting in terms of quantifiable unemployment and underemployment rates. This study contributes to a body of work that highlights how recent emerging adult college graduates compete for jobs post-graduation within an anemic labor market. By expanding the breadth of specialized knowledge, the information captures what is essential to empower emerging adult college graduates entering a labor market influenced by record unemployment and suggests ways to further career development. This study documented the shift in the roles and responsibilities in the school-to-work phase, and the employment issues of a cadre of recent emerging adult college graduates who were influenced by the economic recession of 2007 and its impact on the present. Interview data from nine participants were transcribed and coded to determine emerging themes. Themes were aligned with the concepts within transition theory and emerging adult theory to increase understanding of issues facing recent college graduates in transition to employment. The analysis of participants’ lived experiences expanded the educational leadership knowledge base to impact praxis by mitigating the unexpected effects of economic downturn, as students move out of school and into the labor market. The phenomenon has expanded the knowledge base by identifying how to organize resources of academic or student affairs and career centers to maximize how to offer services relevant to today’s emerging adult college graduates. The study discovered that although emerging adulthood is defined as age-based, a new category isolating the breadth of understanding for emerging adults college graduates is crucial to document the impact of dismal employment trends. Economic downturn affects the ability for young adults to reconcile identities. Study participants reported a lack of knowledge about how to mitigate their student orientation to career socialization. This study exposed a need for integration of student development theory, historically germane to traditional-aged collegians, and career development theory to guide emerging adult college graduates toward their career goals. The disconnect between the mass production of degrees and skills essential to the labor market (Bivens, 2014 ), have an impact on emerging adults who are one of four generations competing for skilled jobs at competitive rates of pay.

The 2009 Ipsos Canada End of Year Poll queries Canadians on issues and events that affected their lives in 2009, as well as their feelings on the next year. Respondents are asked for their opinions on Canadian politics, the nation's military presence in Afghanistan, their economic well-being and job status, as well as their feelings on the biggest news story and newsmaker of 2009. 1038 respondents from across the nation contributed to the 2009 End of Year Poll.

The data consist of summaries in English of family interviews conducted in Finnish, focusing on changes in the lives of families with children in 1990s Finland. The original interviews and summaries in Finnish are archived in the dataset FSD2246. The interviews were conducted in 1996 in Tampere and Jyväskylä regions in 23 families. Adult family members were interviewed both together and separately. In the joint interviews, spouses were asked about family composition, housing, household income, changes in the family in the 1990s, and taste in tv programs, clothes, food and decoration. In the individual interviews, the main topics included the respondents' life history, educational and employment history, organisation of everyday life, children and their upbringing, daycare and school, job, ideas of social class and politics, and social networks. Seven children, aged 6-13, were interviewed about their everyday life at home and outside home, leisure activities, housing and environment, taste in food, movies, books and clothes, changes in life, future expectations, school and homework, relationship with parents, the family's social class, and social networks. The data comprise 26 summaries with a total length of 237 pages. The interview summaries and child interview questions are available in English.

Following a consistent growth in recent years, the overseas revenue of the animation industry in Japan reached a value of about **** trillion Japanese yen for the first time in 2023. The combined value of the domestic anime market and the overseas anime market amounted to approximately **** trillion yen in 2023, which was a new record for the industry. Exporting anime The anime industry is an important part of the Japanese content industry, which has received increasing attention as a possible growth motor for the Japanese economy since the early 2000s. Exports of media contents and other pop cultural goods, such as Pokémon merchandise and toys, were deemed economic success stories in Japan during the recession-stricken 1990s. A breakdown of the anime industry by segment shows that merchandising is by far the largest domestic segment of the anime industry. The overseas revenue represents the combined revenue of various segments of the industry, such as television broadcasting, movies, and video streaming. Anime streaming in particular has come into focus in recent years, as the competition between major streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, has increased the demand for animated streaming content. Impact of demographic changes One reason for the increasing outward orientation of Japanese anime producers and related companies can be found in the limited growth potential of the domestic market. Japan’s low birthrate means that fewer and fewer children are born as time progresses, which poses a challenge particularly for those businesses which follow a media mix strategy that combines broadcasting TV programs for children with selling toys and other merchandise. Despite this development, the anime industry has greatly expanded its output since the 1990s, which has entailed an increasing focus on content aimed at adult audiences. A comparison of production minutes shows that the anime industry today produces more content aimed at adults than content aimed at children and families, which was not the case in earlier decades. In general, it has become more common for adults to enjoy animation, which is in part a result of the increasing sophistication of the medium.

Explore by navigating in any of the maps at right. Each map will automatically update to your location, facilitating simultaneous review of all data. ERDC JALBTCX toolbox is used to calculate the rate of bluff line movement.ERDC JALBTCX toolbox is used to calculate littoral cell sediment volume inputs.Generalized cross sections of coastal stratigraphy, obtained for USACE by Dr. Grahame Larson using data supplied by USGS, are used to characterize littoral cell volume inputs. A complete sediment budget is now formed. These generalized cross-sections, and the location in which they were confirmed, are shown at right in the margins of the georeferenced USGS maps. Transects are shore perpendicular lines that created to intersect two shore parallel lines representing the location of the bluff at various locations in 2012 and 1980 respectively. Shoreline material accretion/recession is reported per littoral cell by averaging recession/accretion rates calculated at the transects between headlands. These transects are drawn at 100m intervals. Littoral cells are shore parallel polygons that connect two headlands. Shoreline material accretion/recession is reported per littoral cell.

This statistic depicts the average trips made per month by U.S. shoppers in 2014, by channel. During that period, U.S. shoppers made, on average, *** trip per month to dollar stores.Shopping behavior: Shopping patternsTrip behavior has been on the slow decline for several years. But, a more granular assessment of shopping trip behavior tells a more complex story. The grocery channel still clearly holds the lion's share of CPG trips. However, like most CPG channels, this one saw frequency decline in 2014.These declines are caused by a number of factors. The economic downturn and fluctuating -- sometimes very high -- gas prices have left an indelible mark on shoppers, and many recession-driven efforts to conserve money have become long-standing CPG habits. Competition for share of spending has also escalated as retailers hone assortments and store formats in an effort to win over shoppers and, ultimately, find new ways to grow in an evolving marketplace.During the past year, several value channels such as club and dollar have experienced increased trip frequency. Some of the momentum these channels are experiencing can be explained by changing trip mission strategies. For example, pantry-stocking missions, which are shopping trips in which consumers purchase relatively large baskets of goods in an effort to stock their pantry for the upcoming week, have recovered from the economic downturn and are key in regards to club channels.Dollar channel growth is being supported by a number of factors, including increased store population, beefed-up assortments, and store remodels that are helping to increase channel appeal among middle and upper-income consumers.Advancing technology, evolving demography and a transforming economy are coming together to catalyze an industry revolution like none before. An understanding of these factors is a required foundation for building a bridge of near constant and real-time communication with these shoppers that will drive purchase behavior and solidify long-term shopper loyalty.

As of January 2025, the largest all-time bankruptcy in the United States remained Lehman Brothers. The New York-based investment bank had assets worth 691 billion U.S. dollars when it filed for bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. This event was one of the major points in the timeline of the Great Recession, as it was the first time a bank of its size had failed and had a domino effect on the global banking sector, as well as wiping almost five percent of the S&P 500 in one day. Bank failures in the U.S. In March 2023, for the first time since 2021, two banks collapsed in the United States. Both bank failures made the list of largest bankruptcies in terms of total assets lost: The failure of Silicon Valley Bank amounted to roughly 209 billion U.S. dollars worth of assets lost, while Signature Bank had approximately 110.4 billion U.S. dollars when it collapsed. These failures mark the second- and the third-largest bank failures in the U.S. since 2001. Unprofitable banks in the U.S. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank painted an alarming picture of the U.S. banking industry. In reality, however, the state of the industry was much better in 2022 than in earlier periods of economic downturns. The share of unprofitable banks, for instance, was 3.4 percent in 2022, which was an increase compared to 2021, but remained well below the share of unprofitable banks in 2020, let alone during the global financial crisis in 2008. The share of unprofitable banks in the U.S. peaked in 2009, when almost 30 percent of all FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions were unprofitable.
