Abstract:
In this paper we analyse what caused the financial crisis of 2008-2009, how its aftermath lead, indirectly and among others, to a recently escalated crisis in the Euro zone and which would be the effects and solutions of this new economic reality. We must admit the fact that, economically speaking, we live in a world of major unbalances, affecting the capacity of global financial markets to sustainably recover from such a strong challenge as the one posed by the past few years. Moreover, it seems like the Euro zone experiment was not such a wise idea after all, with its possible disintegration bringing a whole new twist to the ongoing financial crisis and our viable options to overcome it. Our aim to determine the correlations between these major economic phenomena and this way to hopefully render possible solutions in a clearer light.
