Crise de 1929 e crise de 2008: paralelos, convergências e divergências

Abstract

This academic work aims to analyze the 1929 Crisis and the 2008 Crisis, demonstrating the parallels, convergences, and divergences between them. In this regard, common and distinct points that caused these crises, as well as their consequences, are presented. The main economic, social, and political aspects of these periods, which, despite the time lapse and internal and external variations, show significant similarities, will be analyzed. The causes that triggered these events, the resulting consequences, as well as the measures taken by governments to mitigate and overcome the negative effects of these crises, will be addressed. Additionally, the economic and social impacts of these interventionist measures will be discussed. For this analysis, a research methodology was applied that is basic in nature, with explanatory objectives and a qualitative-quantitative approach, utilizing a historical and dialectical methodological strategy. This allowed for an in-depth understanding of the events and policies adopted. It is hoped that this study will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that lead to financial crises and the most effective strategies for dealing with them. By comparing the 1929 and 2008 crises, we seek to identify valuable lessons that can help in the formulation of more robust economic policies and the prevention of future financial crises.
