Crisis

A crisis is an economic situation wherein a country experiences a sudden downturn brought on by a financial crisis. Manifested in a significant decline in production, marketing and consumption of goods and services, a crisis is also characterized by high high unemployment, near-bank collapse, and an economic contraction. A crisis also experiences drying up of liquidity and rising or falling prices due to inflation or deflation. It can also take the form of a recession or a depression, with violation of existing production relations and bankruptcy of enterprises.

Theory of Reflexivity

Credit Crisis:

  • Begin on the margins - with markets for junk bonds and other high-yield (i.e. high risk) debt freezing first
  • Later spread to other bond markets as investors panic about the future
  • Eventually all borrowing and lending comes to a halt
  • Investors decide to sit on their hands and wait for more certainty and improved market conditions.
