This survey brings me to the conclusion that crisis is ultimately political in nature. Even if it erupts as a financial crisis, its resolution world inevitably be political because the distribution of losses would be highly arbitrary and controversial. Ultimately all financial crises are crisis of governance. Financial crises prove that financial engineering cannot create perpetual prosperity. It takes good governance, at the corporate, financial and social levels, to generate long-run sustainable stability. All crises have to be solved by governments, and if not satisfactorily, by the next government.
