[QUOTE=12Y/OGIRL;44280330]Not only Russia, all the world economies are entering periods of over - production, with exhausted wages, nobody can afford to purchase the products of factories, at the same time, capitalists will lay off more people to cover their losses. Its a cycle that will lead to a depression, one that won't be solved by a passage of time, but by a critical measure taken, a war, or the expansion into new markets (Africa, India). The question is, will our societies stay stable long enough for the transition, or will the next decade be that of civil unrest, protests, and riots.[/QUOTE] Overproduction? What? We had the glut in 2008, the economy is recovering at the moment. The next one won't come until aggregate demand drops below aggregate supply and stays that way long enough for shit to break loose. And if we do have another recession, just need the state to stimulate the economy until things get back on track.
If this forecast is true then it does offer an explanation of why Putin went after Crimea at this time. If he knew the forecast was gloomy for the short term economy, he knew that would have huge ramifications to his grip on power. The Russian people would become frustrated and aim their discontent at him, he being the leader and all. This Crimea thing gains two important tactical goals for him. First, it gives a reason for his people to rally around him, as patriots. It's always a smart play to game your people with patriotism, they fall for it every time. Second, it triggers Western sanctions. This provides a convenient excuse why your economy is suffering. Now Putin can point the finger elsewhere and avoid taking the blame for economic problems. Any Russians that try to speak up and point out that they were having problems already is labeled a traitor and discredited.

Brazil riots had nothing to do with that.

[QUOTE]We had the glut in 2008,[/QUOTE] What glut? What happened in 2008 wasn't glut, but a bubble, which is different from a glut, in malthusian terms.
