The economic crisis is arousing anxiety among economists and decision-makers throughout the world. The global crisis is the world’s worst economic crisis since the 1930s’ Great Depression. It touches each of us and compels us to not only carefully examine the causes of the crisis, but to actively address the deformations that have grown in our imbalanced economy and correct them. The unique role of economists is to help the rest of us to understand the crisis and to lead the mending of the global economic system.
