Abstract
This article examines contract law’s role in the subprime mortgage crisis, specifically in the way that the laissez faire paradigm of traditional contract law focuses on the self-interest of the contractual parties and in the way contract law has led to a business culture dominated by a “survival of the fittest” mentality.
Keywords: subprime mortgage crisis, contract law
