The Limits of Minsky’s Financial Instability Hypothesis as an Explanation of the Crisis

By Thomas I. Palley
In this paper the author argues that the interpretation of the financial crisis as a Minsky crisis is misleading, as the processes identified in Minsky’s financial instability hypothesis, even when playing a critical role in the crisis, are part of a larger economic drama involving the neoliberal growth model. Interpretation of the financial crisis as a purely financial crisis–in the spirit of a pure Minsky crisis–and the attendant policy prescription of simply fixing the financial system may, in fact, worsen stagnation.
