Aneli [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Subprime lending is the practice of lending to borrowers who have poor credit-ratings. In other words, borrowers who are very likely to default on their debts.

Explanation:

With the expansion of subprime leding due to expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, banks got many risky assets that created a bubble. The bubble burst out and generated the Great Recession of 2007-2008.

Because so many clients could not pay their debts, banks saw their assets diminish while their liabilities rose quickly. This not only led to a credit crunch due to the poor financial health of the banks, but also the loss of viability for many banks. This is why the government had to step in, and in conjunction with the Federal Reserve, provide billions of dollars in relief for financial institutions.

Are individual human rights victories less important or significant than victories that are won by large groups
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Consider why:

1. Remember, human rights are rights or entitlements every human should/ought to have, so whether they are won by large groups or by individuals they are still rights.

2. Also remember, a large group of people are in themselves individuals who came together forming a group, so in a sense victories won by the group was won by each individual affected by the victory.
