Impact of Financial Instability on Major Institutions
The financial instability has led to significant repercussions for major institutions, most notably the liquidation of Lehman Brothers, which previously employed 25,000 people. To counter this turmoil, the federal government intervened by providing American International Group (AIG) with an $85 billion loan to stabilize the situation. This indicates a shift in market dynamics, where reliance on governmental support has become essential. As the Federal Reserve remains passive, the necessity for active measures to support failing financial giants becomes increasingly apparent.
