This assignment provides a detailed analysis of the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse, examining its causes, including over-leveraging, sub-prime lending, and risky investments. It explores the importance of accurate financial disclosure by banks and the role of regulatory mechanisms in maintaining transparency. The paper discusses the credit crisis, the debate over bank credit restrictions, and the concept of systemic risk. Furthermore, it delves into the moral hazard problem associated with the crisis, particularly in relation to government interventions and the differing treatment of financial institutions like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. The analysis references reports from the New York Times and other sources to support its arguments.
