The Financial Crisis and Its Aftermath
In September 2008, the world witnessed the collapse of Lehman Brothers, marking the beginning of a global financial crisis that would reshape our economic landscape. As an economist, I found myself grappling with a fundamental question: Will this crisis lead to the return of the state on the economic and social scene? The answer, as we've seen unfold over the years, is complex and multifaceted. The immediate response to the crisis was a series of bank bailouts and stimulus packages. Many questioned the logic behind saving the very institutions that caused the meltdown. But let me be clear: it was legitimate to intervene to avert a systemic crisis. Banks are a crucial part of our economic infrastructure, and their collapse would have had catastrophic consequences for the entire economy. However, these bailouts should have come with stringent conditions. Shareholders and bank managers should have paid a price for their mistakes. We needed aggressive financial regulation to prevent the sale of toxic assets as legitimate investments. And perhaps most importantly, we should have put an end to the obscenely high executive compensation packages in the financial sector.
