In 2008, the banking system was near total collapse, the stock market was in free fall, and government officials (it seemed to many) were as clueless as the rest of us. I joined CBS Sunday Morning for a look back at the housing and banking crisis that almost dragged the world down into another Great Depression, talking with historian Adam Tooze and Wall Street Journal reporter Gretchen Morgenson about how many of the new rules put into place to protect the system from suffering another meltdown are being diluted.

Americans can help fight identity theft by freezing their credit – now free of charge – at the three main credit-monitoring services. This new policy is part of a law called The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. Over a year ago, a hack of one of those credit services, Equifax, affected nearly 150 million people and exposed personal information including names, social security numbers and birth dates.
