Below I will provide a description of the course project, the grading rubric, and the annotated bibliography that I have created with the sources I want you to use. You should be able to find the sources by googling them, or looking them up on an online library database. You can also feel free to add any additional resources you may use, just make sure to add them to the bibliography and provide a brief description. I will also include my topic proposal document that includes my annotated bibliography so far.
Topic:
- What has been the impact of the 2007-2008 mortgage crisis on the money supply in the United States? What actions did the Federal Reserve take in response to the mortgage crisis?
