The current recession, also known as the Great Recession of 2007, began in late 2007-early 2008 and was the result of the burst of the housing bubble. A bubble means the inflation of value of goods or services; the burst of the bubble meant prices collapsed suddenly. The main cause of the recession was the over-investment and spreading of risk through sub-prime mortgages. These mortgages were dangerous, raised prices, and their inherent risk was combined into subsequent derivatives which were difficult to government and credit agencies to rate. Some other causes include banking malpractice, government regulation, and moral hazard.
Revised in more of a "kiddy" way:
Back in 2007, the banks were giving out loans left and right, but were careless to compare the price of the house mortgage to the person's salary and income. These people obviously couldn't afford to pay the monthly mortgage, and since they never put any money into the house, they just ditch their home. Now, imagine like over 1,000 people doing this. The bank becomes corrupted, and it creates chaos we have today. So, you could say our current recession could be blamed on the bank being carefree.

No. The recession is expected to stabilize during 2009 and is expected to end by the end of 2009. The steps taken by the governments world over would start showing effect and the economies will recover. note: This is only my opinion.
