No 57, Working Paper Serie des Instituts für Ökonomie from Hochschule für Gesellschaftsgestaltung (HfGG), Institut für Ökonomie

Abstract: The paper addresses the following questions: what type of crisis is this? How can we put the events together in our minds so that we have a coherent, complete picture of the crisis? How can we put this crisis in its historical context and what are the consequences for the future of our society? The paper consists of three parts: (1) a background to the crisis, esp. economic facts, (2) an interpretation of the crisis and (3) an outlook to the future and potential scenarios for how society will react to the crisis.
