Chris McClelland | RSS | Tue, Nov 17 2009 | 0 CommentsToday’s featured ebook download is Causes and Effects of the Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy (123 KB, 26 pg) – I argue that the demise of Lehman Brothers is the result of its very aggressive leverage policy in the context of a major financial crisis. The roots of this crisis have to be found in bad regulation, lack of transparency, and market complacency brought about
by several years of positive returns. Lehman’s bankruptcy lead to a reassessment of the risk, in particular in the market for credit default swaps.
What you can learn from this ebook
The demise of Lehman Brothers can only be understood within the context of the current financial crisis, the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. The roots of this crisis have to be found in bad regulation, lack of transparency, and market complacency brought about by several years of positive returns. I will start by explaining these three roots and then I will discuss how Lehman contributed to its own demise and what the consequences of its filing for bankruptcy are.
