WHAT IS A FINANCIAL CRISIS! I have confused my self
A financial crisis is where one business is selling morgages to different people who can't afford to pay back which means the bissniss people are being payed more money so then the poor people they lose their house or whatever they bought and some people become homeless they can also lose their jobs. Sometimes they send empty packages across the world( starting with America) and one day someone realises that it is an empty package so they go on to sell it to someone else and it keeps going and going until one day it stopped.

how do i get stars on my post?????
Hi amusing_writer, you can win stars on both posts and comments by writing something that uses one of the BNC skills! You can read more about the skills here: https://www.burnetnewsclub.com/about/burnet-news-club-skills/. There are many ways to do this: you might show your scepticism by challenging something that another club member has said, and back up your opinion with some research. Or you could show your curiosity by interviewing a family member on how the financial crisis affected them and report back on what you learned. These are just a few ideas, there are many ways to use the BNC skills!

In previous years, why did the government not set straight rules to what you can or can not do in the bank? ( no asking for loans when you are sure that it is not possible to pay the money back, no tempting individual bankers to take risks etc.)

How old were some people when it started?
Why did it take so long to stop the financial crisis?
I think that It took so long to stop the financial crisis because everyone was confused about what was going on. Also because no one knew how to stop it.
Thank you for telling me I have got a question for you why did the financial crisis have to start?

Hi, what would happen if the financial crisis happened again? If it did, would it effect children.
14 Nov 2018
Why hadn't the leaders of the businesses began international-trading with the countries that had not yet been affected by the financial crisis and what I mean by trading is giving objects in return for cash? Was it allowed for the Royal Mint to provide banks with cash or was it just an idea that had not yet been thought of?

Did the Bank of England waste too much time worrying about "moral hazard" and not enough time working out a solution to the impending banking crisis? I've brung this question to the experts because I've been trying to figure this question out for myself and do my own research but nothing has come up so I really hope you can answer it.
Excellent curiosity! More questions will be sent to the experts tomorrow, so I'll make sure this goes on the list.
Olivia, who are the Lehman brothers?!
Hi meticulous_cheetah! Lehman Brothers was a big global financial services company who went bust at the very beginning of the financial crisis. Can you do some research and find out how long they were a company for before they went bust?
