The lack of government oversight occurred in the housing market -- specifically in the home loan business.  It's sometimes referred to as the "subprime mortgage" crisis.  Subprime mortgages were mortgages given to borrowers that didn't qualify for a conventional loan.  They would be financed in ways that charged borrowers higher interest because of the risk or had large balloon payments later in the loan period.  As a result, there was a "housing bubble" created, where many people had entered into home loans above what they could pay.  When that bubble burst and the housing market crashed, it triggered the great recession.
