What will the catalyst event be that causes economic collapse on a planet wide scale?

Question

Our planet is set up for total economic collapse, all that's needed is the catalyst event. About a year after the catalyst, every economy on the planet will have completely collapsed upon itself. I am wanting to know what that catalyst event will be.

Answer 1

The catalyst event was foretold in a old movie produced by Hollywood. You do understand that Hollywood does have a crystal ball that foretells the future don't you??? Proof, there story about New Orleans was right on the nose. The monastery monks of Mississippi (ancient Mississippi) trumped the Masons and took possessions of this magical crystal ball. Since this has such magnificent powers of foretelling the future, Hollywood needed to be able to create documentaries and fictional stories to cushion the blow to the general public (us).

Anyways, as I started off, Hollywood has foretold the destruction of the world economy and it is the "Marshmallow Man". Yes, the Ghost-Busters (they are real) will be fighting the gates to the underworld and one of the Ghost-Busters will visualize a "Marshmallow Man". Unlike the movie ... which was downplayed for our sanity ... this "Marshmallow Man" will reproduce 20 times faster than bunnies. Once the planet is under the power of "Marshmallow's" we'll be doomed and not be capable of handling the "Just-In-Time" delivery. Only the poor who currently understand how to farm and kill chickens will live ... the Bible did say, "The poor shall inherit" the earth, and so here is the explanation tied to the past and the future to prove that the poor will in fact inherit the earth ... the poor can feed themselves, suburbia cannot!!!

Answer 2

The catalyst will have to involve the decimation of the movers of the economy in some way ... perhaps, a major plague that the newspapers keep telling us we are due for but haven't yet seen in many years. Another issue that can set off an economic catastrophe is a number of weather disasters, such as a major tsunami on the west coast as well as a number of earthquakes and so forth ... which will certainly prevent further governance and economic markets from operating.

Answer 3

Honestly, our PLANET isn't setup for total economic collapse. On the other hand, there are some economies that face reasonably grave prospects for the future, for various reasons. The U.S. has a massive trade imbalance problem that doesn't look like it will be fixed in the short term. Japan has a clear issue with its demographics.

I think the problem is that Western economies are going to find they are not going to have the advantages they have had in the past when dealing with non-Western economies. Those areas can do business these days at a significantly lower cost, and yet are finally educated and healthy enough that they can compete with us on a manpower level in technological areas today. We may have to accept that, without major technological breakthroughs, the West will have to accept a decline in the standard of living.

Answer 4

Problem: If China decided to drop/dump its dollar reserve on the world currency market, interest rates here could skyrocket, severely damaging our stock and housing markets. However, that probably won’t happen because China needs American prosperity to continue its growth, and Americans with extra dollars love Chinese imports. It keeps the Chinese economic juggernaut rolling.

Answer 5

Socialism in America.
