Research Question
Review the course and other materials on the current economic crisis. Provide a brief history of economic theory and then discuss how we know that we are in a crisis (i.e. what are the indicators). What does being in an economic crisis mean in practical terms? Discuss how the crisis affects developed vs. developing states. How does globalization factor into the scope of the crisis? Finally, discuss what caused the crisis and what could be done to avoid similar crises in the future.
