Publisher: National Commission on the Causes of the Financial And Economic Crisis in the United States; or the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission

Description: The official U.S. Government edition of The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report — including 129 pages of dissenting views.

In the wake of the most significant financial crisis since the Great Depression, President Obama signed into law an Act that established the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission to “examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States.”

This bipartisan Commission was given a critical non-partisan mission — to examine the causes of the financial crisis that has gripped the country and to report its findings to the Congress, the President, and the American people.In the course of its research and investigation, the Commission reviewed millions of pages of documents, interviewed more than 700 witnesses, and held 19 days of public hearings in New York, Washington, D.C., and communities across the country that were hit hard by the crisis. Its final report includes the results of the Commission's inquiry and the Commission's conclusions as to the causes of the financial crisis based on this inquiry.
