For there to be an answer, you first have to define the question?
What "IS" the current economic crisis?
How is our private sector failing or different compared to 2007 (pre crash)?
Well, not significantly that different actually (1*), although exports increased slightly due to devaluation, though we lost some domestic demand
(1*) if you exclude the banking and housing sector. Artificial excess money = housing boom = artificial excess money disappears = housing crash = back to "normal". some aggregate demand
Then we have government overspending for over 10 years now as well.
So we had 2 sources of excess money, or as you can clumsily call it "fake" money, this cause "fake" growth (so instead of 2% we had 3%, 1% of that being "Fake).
I hate using household anologys, but let me put it this way.
Guy earns 100 bucks a month, and spends 110 a month on ******.
He then cut's back and only spends a 100 a month on ******.
the ****** will see this as an "economic problem", but it's not really is it, it's just a correction.
So my answer to the "economic crisis" is that we don't actually have an economic crises, we just have a government that was borrowing and spending to much, and banks giving out loans to easily.
Now people want to jump back up to pre-crash levels of wealth, without acknowledging that it was built on "fake" credit. The danger of this being that many of the "solutions" are what caused the flipping problem in the first instance.
Don't get me wrong, we have economic issues, large unemployment for example, amongst a number of other issues. But these have all been a long time in the making, or already existent, they are only bought to the fore of the media in times such as these.
