They all got paid and were often paid well. The rewards were so extreme that the cycle became self-reinforcing. Mortgage brokers did what was necessary to finance more homes, and Wall Street firms created new and more sophisticated packages of mortgages to attract more investors, not just in the U.S. but around the world.

Deontological ethics B. Egoism C. None of these answers are correct. D. Categorical imperative E. Utilitarianism
