Answer:
Import substitution industrialization (ISI) is a trade and economic policy which advocates replacing foreign imports with domestic production. Domestic consumers benefit from import substitution as they do not have to face strong competition from foreign competitors and can sell their goods at a higher price. So for example manufacturers in USA sell a battery from $10 but consumers from USA have the option to import that battery at $7 from China the US manufacturers wont be able to compete as Chinese companies have lower cost of production therefore they can sell cheaper and in order to protect the local manufacturers the government may use an ISI strategy to help the local manufacturers. On the other hand consumers are harmed from this strategy as they cannot buy the cheaper product because of change in government strategy. So consumers who were buying the battery at $7 not have to buy it at $10.

Embezzlement is defined as misappropriation of funds by someone with whom funds have been entrusted.
It is a theft as the money does not belong to the perpetrator. The perpetrator is only entrusted with funds.
One of the conditions for embezzlement is an existence of a fiduciary (trust) relationship between parties.
In the given case, Anne Mullens pocketed $57 cash from recorded amount instead of recording 57$ customer's payment via check. Instead she included the customer's check in the money to be taken to bank.

We went back in time to 2008 and we are in the middle of the subprime mortgage crisis. This is an example of how mortgage backed securities and collateralized debt obligations worked.
The problem with this scenario is that in order for every company involved to be able to make a profit, the mortgages' interest rates skyrocketed which made it harder for families to pay back their loans. This eventually made the families lose their houses and that was the end to the housing bubble and the whole economy collapsed.
