How does the economic crisis affect families?

  • The economic crisis in Western countries is worrisome to adults. If married they worry one or both of them may lose their job (especially the father of the household); struggling to meet bills; keep paying the mortgage or, if they own the house paying taxes on their home and property; trying to give their children a decent education; health care is expensive especially in the United States and these strains can cause some families to argue to the point of breaking the family unity apart often ending in divorce or at least spousal abuse in some cases, not to mention sometimes addiction to alcohol; gambling or drugs. If a single young adult the future can seem bleak and even with a good education jobs can be scarce depending on where they live or they may not have the money to further their education. They also may have to pay high rents; have utility; phone and cable bills and health care and try to keep whatever contents and properties they may have which can often lead to credit card debt.

What caused Zimbabwe's economic crisis?

Mugabe caused the problem, but how? Zimbabwe only attained independence in 1980 after a bloody struggle against the white minority government led by Ian Smith. The Whites occupied Zimbabwe in 1800s with an intention of exploring mineral resources in the then Rhodesia. Ralizing that there were no sufficient minerals to sustain their ambitions, they resorted to farming. This meant that the Ndebele as well as the Shona people had to give their land away to the minority whites, of course, in a bloody situation...the First Chimurenga. The second Chimurenga was fought in the years prior to the Independence in 1980. The first decade of Zimbabwe's independence saw prosperous economy and stability within the country. Mugabe himself did not reserve grudges against the whites, and he is reported to have delivered a reconciliation speech at independence. With the inception of Structural Adjustiment Programme under the IMF/World Bank, Zimbabwe failed to meet certain conditionalities the IFIs required of the country. This resulted in rising unemployment rates, inflation, as well as signs of economic shock. This raised growing opposition to change. The MDC was born, but Mugabe resisted to the needed change. To win popular suppor, he went against the whites and seized their pieces of land, thereby halting all agricultural production, which contributed nearly 80 per cent of the Zimbabwe economy.

By keeping interest rates at an all time lows do you think the Federal Reserve was acting in the best interest of the country?

WikiAnswers in not necessarily the place for opinions, but since an opinion was asked for...

The Federal Reserve did this country a small disfavor by keeping interest rates low for a long time. This caused an artificial inflation in the value of the dollar that raised the price of a lot of goods (ie: oil) needlessly. This has been going on since Greenspan, although he neither knew it was going on nor acted in malice. The Fed was caught in a hard place with the credit crisis as inflation began to rear its ugly head and banks cried for cheap cash. Rates were already low so the Fed was relectant to lower them for fear of inflation kicking into overdrive. So the Fed was not as prepared as it should have been for the credit crisis. Had they kept interest rates at a much more market-determined level, they would have had a much easier time dealing with the credit crisis (probably making it much more mild than it is now) by drastically lowering rates without fear of a lot of inflation. The Fed did NOT cause the credit crisis by keeping rates low, they merely unknowingly tied their own hands when it came to dealing with it.
