Purpose: To investigate the traces of the crash of 2008

Write a short essay on the topic of your presentation, i.e. neoliberalism, debt et cetera et cetera. The essay should be 1100 words or longer (avoid being too long). Please use other sources than just Wikipedia. And of course: ask if you're having trouble finding.
