This recession was first caused by banks lending money to people that weren't very likely to re-pay the money. This caused the trust in banks (by people, governemtns and other banks) to fall and now they won't lend money to each other. In a little more depth, the sub-prime mortgage market, a lack of risk-aversion and a lack of regulation caused bank's equity values to fall very rapidly and as a result the bank's are very wary about who they lend to in case they lose a lot of money and become insolvent. This causes a contraction in the money supply and this is prolonging the recession.
