Abstract [en]
It has been a lot of talking about who’s president’s fault has been for the
crisis that Started in the United States and how it spread around the world.
Is it really a specific group of people’s fault? Our leaders’ responsibility to
prevent all this? Or is it all of our fault for living in the illusions leaders
created for us in order to keep being elected? I am not here to point fingers
but, rather, analyzing what has happened by researching legislations that
passed and did not pass, and who lobbied and why they lobbied on specific
legislations that could have made a difference in the economic situation but
were never given the chance. The research are mainly on the years right
before the 2007- 2008 recession and specifically from 2004 to 2006. I
conclude with analyzing the types of leadership styles that I feel have
influenced the current situation and what is the follower’s responsibility in
letting it happen, why, and how they could change the situation.
