Abstract
This paper is a descriptive analysis of the Great Depression of 1929-1933 and the financial

crisis of 2007-2009. The goal is to conduct a historical analysis of the two crises by

examining trends in key variables such as GDP, money supply, wealth and asset prices,

international trade, industrial production and monetary and fiscal policy. Then we examine

the similarities and differences between the progresses of the crises.

The report begins by providing an overview of established crisis theory, which will serve as

a backdrop for this study. Further on, we present the crises progress by placing an emphasis

on the years before the crisis erupted, and how the economy evolved before it ended in crisis.

We will also answer the question introduced by the title of our report. Since the aftermath of

the 2007-2009 financial crises is not over, we will comment on the likelihood of a newly

evolving crisis.

The analysis shows how the past of both crises can be viewed in the context of the Minsky

crisis model. Furthermore, it focuses on incremental development in accordance with

Minsky phases and viewing of the key variables that are descriptive of the respective phases.

We investigate the importance of the hegemony of power role, especially considering that

there was an absence of hegemony power prior to and during the Great Depression.

As this analysis looks at the development of the two crises in the light of Minsky and

Kindleberger, other analysis, such as other socioeconomic analysis, may give different

results than those presented here.
