Bubble Watch
Nineties Bubble
The 1990s witnessed a fateful convergence of financial innovation, technological advancement, and state intervention. Activist monetary policy and successive government rescues fostered the explosive proliferation of securitizations, derivatives, repurchase agreements, hedge funds, and GSE-driven credit expansion. Resulting asset inflation and instability were the genesis for history’s greatest multi-decade bubble.
