The years after 2007 saw the onset of recessionary and depression tendencies the world over. The new era of depression economics had begun and the financial crisis had engulfed major economies of the world. The 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall act had set the ground for the sub prime crisis, which soon became a full blown financial crisis with financial giants like Lehman Brothers, AIG, Toyota, Freddie Mac and Fannie May, etc. becoming prey to this crisis.

Economies like India were initially thought to be decoupled from this crisis that originated in the west and it was believed that the contagion effect would not have such a wide spread. However, with time, the crisis became became more pronounced than it was thought of earlier, because of the globalised world that we live in, with economic integration of the economies the world over, being the order of the day. The Indian economy felt the impacts in terms of declining growth rates, foreign capital flows, foreign trade, dwindling real economy and the fiscal sector and a major downturn in the stock market.

The events of the past, especially the last two decades, wherein Japan spent most of the 1990s in an economic trap, Asia went from boom to calamity virtually overnight and more recently the modern world, with the presence of sophisticated bankers and government officials, not to mention. The International Monetary Fund and The World Bank, did plunge into a depression like situation, make it amply clear that no sensible person would do the mistake of thinking that the age of economic anxiety is past. In times to come, we need to clear the obsolete doctrines that clutter our minds and have a clear understanding of the financial issues and policy designs, to steer clear of such crises and have strong and consistent global economic fundamentals and the associated growth rates.
