Extended data

The so-called financial crisis refers to some persistent contradictions in the operation of activities related to monetary capital, such as the credit crisis in bill cashing and the currency crisis caused by the disconnection between buying and selling.

The connotation of economy is obviously broader than finance, including all activities related to people's needs and supply, such as consumption and production, finance and so on. Its core lies in creating value and obtaining welfare through the integration of resources. The so-called economic crisis means that the increase of value and welfare can not meet people's growing needs for a period of time, such as a large number of overproduction caused by the disconnection between supply and demand, which is the Great Depression in the traditional sense.

Historically, several large-scale financial crises and economic crises in the past are related and can be said to be accompanied by each other. Financial crises often occur before economic crises, even the recent global economic crisis is no exception.
