Economic historians began to think about the paradigm of resilience after the banking and financial crisis of 2007. In this context this paper would like to develop an initial model of resiliencing or resilience management in history which shall be put up for discussion. Thereby, the following questions should be answered: How can an enterprise be made resilient? And how can resilience management be analysed in a business historical or microeconomic context? Afterwards, this model will be screened based on some preliminary empirical indications extracted from the business history of the 16thcentury. Finally, the importance of the analysis of resilience management for business history and for the historical sciences in general will be discussed. But first, the way from resilience to resilience management will be explained in a few steps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper gives a concise evaluation of the impacts of the global economic crisis on the Estonian economy in 2009-2010. The main activities performed in the Estonian economy for the alleviation of the crisis have been pointed out. The state budget and its cuts are dwelt upon. Changes in the Estonian economy within the last few years are presented with the related brief assessments. The measures officially planned by government agencies for the current and further stabilisation of the Estonian economy are described. The main activities that should be performed in Estonia in the opinion of the author for the alleviation of and exiting the crisis are pointed out. As overcoming the economic crisis and achievement of subsequent stable development assumes also carrying out several reforms, the paper also briefly dwells on the problems related to the achievement of regional balance and the administrative-territorial reform.

The current article sets out to present the results of a content analysis performed on online editions of main publications from Germany, concerning the way the economic crisis was depicted as a topic. The quantitative analysis was performed in the time spam from January 2008 to October 2009, the main search criteria being the appearance of the word 'crisis'. The current research is based on the framing theory from the perspective of communication sciences. The sample includes two of the relevant quality papers in Germany, 'Süddeutsche Zeitung' and 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung', publications with different orientations. The weekly magazine 'Der Spiegel' was selected to draw a larger perspective, including the point of view of visual communication, given the fact that some covers of the German publication were devoted to the topic of economic crisis. A comparison to the way the Romanian media framed the economic crisis based on a secondary analysis will be presented in the end of the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is an essay concerning the anticipation of the inception of the financial crisis in 2007/2008 as it has been written about by well known journalists and economists. This topic is discussed as found in papers and books including "The Big Short - Wie eine Handvoll Trader die Welt verzockte," by Michael Lewis, “The Crisis,” by Alan Greenspan, and "13 Bankers. The Wall Street Takeover and the next Financial Meltdown,” by Simon Johnson and James Kwak.

This paper traces the roots of the current financial crisis to a faulty U.S. macroeconomic paradigm. One flaw in this paradigm was the neoliberal growth model adopted after 1980, which relied on debt and asset price inflation to drive demand in place of wage growth. A second flaw was the model of U.S. engagement with the global economy, which created a triple economic hemorrhage of spending on imports, manufacturing job losses, and off-shoring of investment. Financial deregulation and financial excess are important parts of the story, but they are not the ultimate cause of the crisis. These developments contributed significantly to the housing bubble, but they were a necessary part of the neoliberal model, their function being to fuel demand growth by making ever larger amounts of credit easily available. As the neoliberal model slowly cannibalized itself by undermining income distribution and accumulating debt, the economy needed larger speculative bubbles in order to grow. The flawed model of global engagement accelerated the cannibalization process, thereby creating a need for a huge bubble that only housing could provide. However, when that bubble burst, it pulled down the entire economy because of the bubble’s massive dependence on debt. The old post-World War II growth model based on rising middle-class incomes has been dismantled, while the new neoliberal growth model has imploded. The United States needs a new economic paradigm and a new growth model but, as yet, this challenge has received little attention from policy makers or economists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current economic and financial crisis can be seen as a considerable challenge for the European Monetary Union. The European Central Bank (ECB), the European institutions and the member states tried to prevent the European economies from sliding into a depression by undertaking monetary as well as fiscal policy actions. The aim of the paper is to analyse the sensitivity and absorbability of the EU with respect to exogenous shocks, in doing so, monetary policy as well as fiscal policy tools are presented and evaluated. Hereby is referred to the reactions of the ECB in comparison to those of the FED as well as the investigation of the impulses of fiscal policy actions undertaken by the EU on its member states. In line with the analysis, weaknesses, mainly in the area of fiscal policy, are identified and possible threats are highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current politics of austerity in response to the economic crisis are by no means unique in the 20th and early 21st century history. In this article we ask for parallels and differences of the World Economic Crises of 1929 and 2008, their evolvement and impact as well as for the respective political strategies from a feminist perspective. Therefore we refer to feminist analyses, articles and essays on the current crisis as well as from the interwar period. The spatial focus of the comparison is on Austria and Germany.

The article questions the practice of self-regulation within the banking industry and examines its record of efficacy with a focus on the 2007 European banking crisis and the subsequent and interrelated sovereign debt crisis. Criticism of an alleged lack of strictly-enforced government regulation of the banking industry before the crisis is evaluated, cooperation between financial ratings agencies and the government is called for, and the author attempts to resolve the goals of a purely capitalist market with those of government finance regulation agencies.
