The credit crisis is referred to as economic downturn by credit squeeze, provision of doubtful debt and bankruptcies among others. (IMF, 1998) Credit crisis is known as a credit crunch, it is an extension of recession. According to the Ocaya (2012), Credit crisis is a sudden shortage of loan and tightened the requirement of economy and society needs of getting loan from financial institutions. In such situation, lender started keeps the cash and stop lending money because they are worry about a large of debtor bankrupt and mortgage defaults. Lender had adjusted the interest rate of borrowing to unaffordable rate. Credit crisis decrease the total demand and fall in supply, therefore, it constrains the growth of the economy. The credit crisis is begun in the early 2006 when several events relating the financial system went wrong in the United States of America. The factors leads to credit crises are complex with varying weight. Diamond and Rajan (2009) found that investment misallocation is the proximate cause of the credit crisis. In response to the crisis, corporations, governments, and households reduced on investment and decreased consumption. Federal Reserve provides an adaptable monetary policy to guarantee that the world did not suffer in deep recession. The low interest rates increase a large of demand of housing. House pricing become more value for sale and rent in many countries. Credit crisis is initially occurred in U.S because the financial invocation of U.S. Hence, there is more marginal-credit-quality buyer into the market.

The company wanted to invest extra mortgage-backed securities with $100 million and get 7 percent interest. Then the company borrows a short term loan for $100 million at 4 percent interest. The leverage of company is $10 in a debt for every $1 of equity. The return on equity would be 3.7million on equity of $10million. Hence, investor was willing to obtain short term loan in the bank while they would be given a higher premium. Diamond and Rajan (2009) suggest that the short term debt is seemed like cheaper compared to the future illiquidity’s cost and the long term capital. Therefore, heavy short term leverage market becomes more common in the market of bank capital structure. While the risk-averse banker is unlikely bear the excessive risk, the illiquidity’s costs would be more salient. This had enforced the market into a heavy capital structure.

It can be argued that the economic hardships of the great recession began when interest rates were lowered by the Federal Reserve. This caused a bubble in the housing market. Housing prices plummeted, home prices plummeted, then thousands of borrowers could no longer afford to pay on their loans (Koba, 2011). The bubble forced banks to give out homes loans with unreasonably high risk rates. The response of the banks caused a decline in the amount of houses purchased and “a crisis involving mortgage loans and the financial securities built on them” (McConnell, 2012 p.479). The effect on the economy was catastrophic and caused a “pandemic” of foreclosures that effected tens of thousands home owners across the U.S. (Scaliger, 2013). The debt burden eventually became unsustainable and the U.S. crisis deepened as the long-term effect on bank loans would affect not only the housing market, but also the job market.

Individuals who have subprime mortgagees to finance these less expensive homes are often times forced into foreclosure due to substantial rate changes.

This research paper speaks of the poem “The Tattooer” that talks about Japanese culture where men are superior and women are seen beneath the men of society. The poem "The Tattooer" shines the light on many of Tanizaki's standard society themes. And in this the tattooer desires the pleasure of his art; the tattooer takes much pride in the tattoos that he creates on the flesh of humans and also endures pleasure from putting pain on the empty canvases with his needle. In “The Tattooer” by Tanizaki Jun’ichiro the tattooer desires the pain inflicted on his canvas but then the perfect body is seen and he realizes that he must now tattoo for the beauty of the tattoo and is soon controlled by women.

In order to understand the concept of financialization and the housing market on the global and local level, one must know that there is a global pool of money that is simply the worlds savings bank. In 2000 the pool had $36 trillion and has since doubled in size (Blumberg 2008). Its most recent profit increase was a result of developing countries and cities such as India, Abu Dhabi, and China making money. This doubled the cash pool available for investments, but left fewer solid investments for the taking. The solution was residential mortgages and the US housing market. The investment managers thought the low-risk high-return investment in the housing market was a good, stable idea. The glo...
