The Concise Encyclopedia of The Great Recession 2007-2010 provides the necessary resources for understanding the recession begun in 2007. It spells out the recession-related activities and events of the past few years to better inform the reader as he or she plans future moves for themselves and for their families, friends, and colleagues.
Acclaimed by The New York Times as "The Leading Business and Technical Lexicographer in the Nation" and the business terminology consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary for the past 25 years, Jerry M. Rosenberg provides the most current, accurate, and sufficiently detailed explanations of the economic see-saw in 2008, 2009, and into 2010. Rosenberg describes in great detail the events, people, rules and regulations, and impact of the meltdown during the near collapse of our banks, financial institutions, and corporations. With entries on key persons, companies, government programs, financial instruments, and institutions, Rosenberg provides an essential reference to the most critical recession the United States has faced since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Rosenberg has compiled this encyclopedia in the hope that it will help readers to better understand the reasoning, motives, hidden agendas, and power plays of those who are responsible for this debacle and, most important, what the government has done to try and overcome it. This volume contains a variety of different types of entries in one A to Z sequence.
