The Global Economic Crisis: Fact or fantasy

Everyone knows the world is facing an economic crisis unlike any before it. What is uncertain is the extent of the crisis and the length of time it would take to recover and return to some sense of normality. Some people suggest the crisis is an all to obvious fact, while others consider it to be a fantasy. Fact or fantasy people are facing financial hardship and homelessness. Banks are repossessing homes both in Australia and overseas as families find it harder to make their mortgage repayments. The media broadcasts stories from every possible angle imagineable; however, what they often forget to mention is where is where the money came from in the first place. Sceptics consider the projected figures by the business community to be astonishing, particularly as the business world convinced itself and they public they really lost such vast wealth. It is highly likely that the so called wealth never existed making it
impossible to lose.

It is difficult to believe the figures, suggesting they are a fantasy. I argue that the financial experts are either deluding themselves, and, or , they are deliberately miss leading the wider community for their own gain. Any one with basic financial knowlege knows that money doesn't magically disappear. Nor does it reappear at will. Even if the sceptics are right and the global economic crisis is a fantasy, there is no denying that people in both rich and poor countries are struggling to survive. They (the sceptics) do have a point. Monney either exists or it doesn't. If it doesn't then the crisis is either a fantasy or there is some other logical explaination for it.

In conclusion whether the global economic crisis is a fact or fantasy, people are facing hardship and homelessness as people banks repossess homes world wide. Nobody knows how long it will take to recover from the current economic crisis and return to some sense of normality.

In all they things you say are true. I know how hare it is first hand to find work. I live in the U.S. and thins here as as you say they are there. I have started two books but i have not the money or time to get them published. You say "Everyone knows the world is facing an economic crisis unlike any before it." i would have to say yes we are. As i know from watching things on the news and from my own life, things are really bad this day an age. I see a money going to hings we do not need like the war. Some people say it is a good thing but i ask how is it. We are trying to help people overseas when we can't help our self's here in our on state. So i ask you is that the way things should be i say no. We the people need jobs to live and to give the people we love a good life. Was it good when the poor got poorer and the rich got richer? In that time we thought it was a bad thing but then people were working to make the rich richer but now poor people are past poor and the rich are becoming poor. IS this the world we wont for our kids? I say no i would like to see my kids not have to fight for money and food. I wont to see them being happy and living a good life. In all and all i would just like for people to stand back and look at there self's and the people in the world ans say "I'm i better off then they are".
