When did the financial crisis began and what were the causes? What measures did the Federal Government take to financial markets, business and other states? What are the relationships between the individual phases of the crisis? How high are the real stress for Germany? The book has clearly divided and structured the processes since 2007 and creates a chronological process of the most important events. This creates order in the confusing abundance of events and decisions in recent years. Against the background of the crisis international phenomena, it illuminates the role of German politics and its efforts in the greatest turbulence since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The chronology deals with both international causes and with German solutions and thus offers a holistic representation. In doing so, it is not limited to a list of events, but places the decisions into the political discussion establishes connections to the actors in Germany and Europe. The focus is also on risks such as the Target oaldes, from which enormous danger potential for Germany can assume. The analysis here is both an introduction to students and interested parties and a compact compendium for observers of the financial crisis who are looking for an overview. It also offers a demolition of the diverse literature, which has been published to the problem area of ??financial crisis.
