Henry Paulson (born in 1936) was a directive of the investment bank Goldman Sachs, before becoming the 74th Secretary of the Treasury of the US in 2006. Hence, he was in office in the years prior and during the financial crisis, and had to make critical decisions during those times. As many others, he overrelied on the strenght of the American economy and was soon overwhelmed by the situation.

During the second and third quarters of 2007, he claimed in front of the press that the American economy was robust enough and that subprime mortgage crisis had been properly contained. Therefore, the '<em>laissez-faire' </em>or lack of intervention, was the firstly addopted attitude.

In 2008 he had to initatiate a governemental intervention in the economy with no precedents, to prevent the very close collapse of the banking system and the severely destructive effects that we already affecting the real economy. He implemented the TARP, to purchase up to 700$ billion of troubled assets, and performed the AIG bailout. He also injected in the economy a billionaire stimulus package as part of a QE (Quantitative Easing) program to fight the toughest crisis since 1929.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In the period from 1450-1750 new ideas such as individualism, freedom, and self—determination rose out of the Enlightenment. All these new and deep ideas of the Enlightenment changed thinking in Europe around politics, society, or the economy, and not only of Europe, but beyond.

The Enlightenment was a time in which great thinkers and philosophers shared new information about forms of government and citizens' rights. These ideas came from brilliant minds that influenced many European governments. We are talking about John Locke, Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, and Baron of Montesquiou.

From these author's minds born ideas such as having a division of government in an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch, as was the case of the ideas of Baron of Montesquiou.

These political and social ideals influenced independent movements such as the Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and the Independence of México.
