MAHWAH, N.J. — The Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise and the Anisfield School of Business presented “The 2008 Financial Crisis: A 10-Year Retrospective” at Ramapo College on September 25. Ramapo College’s Murray Sabrin, Professor of Finance, and Charles Steindel, Resident Scholar, Anisfield School of Business, served as co-moderators.

The symposium, which attracted a large audience, addressed why it happened, how it happened and could it happen again. Four national experts on money and banking discussed the events leading up to the housing bust and the reactions of policymakers to the meltdown that caused tens of trillions of dollars of asset values to implode. With new regulations and safeguards in place to prevent a future financial crisis, Sabrin pointed out that the same Federal Reserve policies that caused the two past bubbles are evident again, in what some analysts have called the “everything bubble.”
