Economic growth and economic crisis
Courtesy of Inderscience Publishers
This article argues that the recent financial crisis was caused largely by the long-term problem of the current world economy lacking a sustainable path of development. Limits to growth – expressed principally through rises in the price of oil and other commodities – created a crisis for the global financial system, which has been based essentially on the assumption that economic growth will continue indefinitely. A mismatch was thereby created between the 'real economy' and the finance sector.
