This work, divided into four chapters, aims to theoretically and practically analyze the main causes and stages of the financial crisis, with emphasis on its development in three major economies. The first chapter, which deals with the theory of financial crises, is followed by the second one, where theoretical knowledge is applied to the development and course of the global financial crisis and provides an overview of specific short-term measures that the economies had to take in order to fight it.
