ABSTRACT The economic crisis of 2008 was the worst crisis after the global economic depression in the 1930s. The crisis exploded and continues to weigh on the welfare of the people of the United States and the wheels of business and investment. Financialization is the most dominant component that lays the source of the crisis. Unpaid debts, bad debts, the value of sales and purchases of shares decline drastically, until rising unemployment are a few examples of a series of economic problems that attacked the United States and developed countries in Europe and Japan. Most explanations of this crisis rests on the fault of actor / economic subjects both at the individual level, such as the pace of speculation in financial markets that is not controlled, and institutions, the economic policy errors prior to the crisis.
