    Since the end of the Great Depression “…financial failure has been more extensive and pervasive” in the 30-year period 1980 to 2010 than at any other time leading up to the present day (p. 7). Four financial crises occurred in this 30-year period. The closest in time of the four financial crises to the present period is the recent liquidity crisis, the so-called Great Recession of 2007 – 2009, beginning in the United States, Great Britain, Spain, Ireland and Iceland. Eventually all of the countries of the Eurozone succumbed to the disequilibria of the Great Recession with the Eurozone’s suffering further intensifying because of the emergence of the so-called Sovereign Debt Crisis, a sub-crisis morphing out of the Great Recession in 2010 and 2011, involving Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Cyprus. The Sovereign Debt Crisis is still ongoing having recently extended itself into calendar year 2013.…

    The world financial crisis began in 2006 in the United States housing and related mortgage markets. Soon it spread to the entire U.S. economy and then to the rest of the world. In August 2007, the turmoil moved from the securitized U.S. mortgage markets to the interbank lending market, causing it to freeze up. Before long people became concerned about the extent and distribution of the mortgage related losses, market participants lost confidence in one another’s credit-worthiness, and the market that provides U.S. banks and other financial institutions with their liquidity became illiquid as a result. Institutions such as large commercial banks, investment houses, and insurance companies are the base of the U.S. financial system and because of the crisis they lost the ability to borrow short-term from one another. The general macro economy had weakened causing debt deflation, falling asset prices, falling real estate prices, and falling commodity prices; feeding one another into a downward spiral. Finally in September 2008, the breakdown of the international banking system based on the dominance of the major U.S. investment banks, commercial banks and insurance companies amplified the turmoil, sending severe shocks through the world economy. The economic crash international in its reach was characterized by falling employment, income, and output across the globe. The entire U.S. banking and financial system collapsed as a social financial system similar to banking crisis of 1931. From this point forward, what at first appeared as a U.S. “subprime mortgage market crisis” revealed itself to be a world economic crisis of major proportions.…

    The recent economic recession faced by not only the United States, but also major countries across the globe, has made it tough for businesses to keep operating at a profitable level and forced many to downsize their personnel or to even go bankrupt. In fact, this tough economic period has caused consumers, whether they are manufacturers buying raw material or an average person buying food at the grocery store, to be a lot more conservative with regards to their needs and spending. Consequently the small business sector, which relied on niche markets and customers that value quality over price, became the sector most affected by the economic recession. As a result of this lower demand, many small businesses have had to implement new or improved…

    Economic Meltdown

    Perhaps never before in recent history, has any economic development been so talked about as the ongoing ‘economic meltdown’. As it is clear no one person or institution ever understands the world economic network and functioning completely. Naturally, the fault could not be detected until the symptoms proved beyond repair. The sudden collapse of global finance giants like Lehman Brothers, AIG and battering of numerous other behemoths like Citi Corp triggered the collapse of the stock capital, affecting all US financial institutions, the effect spreading to European and Asian markets leading to worldwide credit crunch or lack of capital for daily operations, loans and expansions across all sectors and all markets. This present situation – of substantial loss of stock, money, shares being traded very low all stock exchanges, high rates for borrowing money, and low productivity due to low demand is termed ‘economic meltdown’.…

I suggest to this august House that the emergence of India as a major economic power in the world happens to be one such idea. Let the whole world hear it loud and clear. India is now wide awake.

    The economic crisis in 2008 has shown that the global economy is not as rigid and indestructible as it was thought to be. The crisis has brought staggering levels of unemployment, even to the most prosperous and sturdy economies of the world, a sharp contraction within the labor market, it has reduced consumer spending in general and it shook currencies and GDP’s to their foundations. Not to mention the required bailouts which were paramount to the rescue of the financial systems of the wealthiest nations, after the collapse of larger financial institutions around the world. (e.g. Bear Stearns)…
