Here’s a pretty good link from the FRB of St. Louis showing a timeline of financial crisis events, including this recent beauty:
December 11, 2009 | U.S. House of Representatives Press Release
The U.S. House of Representatives approves legislation that would create a Financial Stability Council to identify financial firms that pose systemic risk and which will be subject to increased oversight and regulation. The legislation would also create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, impose new regulations on over-the-counter financial derivatives, require the registration of hedge funds with the Securities Exchange Commission, and establish an orderly process for shutting down large, failing financial institutions.
