Summary: | The first important economic recession in this century started in USA with the burst of real estate
bubble followed by the bankruptcy of some investment and commercial banks and the collapse of capital
market. The financial-banking crisis spilt over the world economy and caused the second deepest economic
recession in the last 80 years. The financial crisis has badly affected almost all market economies and was the
result of a combination between market failures and mistakes made in macroeconomic policies. In the financial
sector there was not enough regulation and supervision of corporate governance while in goods industry the
pressure of over-regulation led to higher factor costs and supply contraction. The direct result of supply side
policies and particularly of monetarist instruments is seen now clearly in the USA: large deficits, huge debts,
reduced savings, heavy dependence on foreign money (capital) and resources, relatively low domestic output
and supply. |
