Description

Tim explains that carry trades (borrowing at low interest rates to finance higher-yield investments, and assuming market stability), are behind recurring booms and busts. Tim and his fellow authors argue that market crashes are not the result of economic recessions – rather, market crashes cause recessions. 

Currently, there is risk of another carry crash, which was in development before the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
