In his work, the author explores the question: Is history repeating itself? It is an interdisciplinary comparison of various world economic crises in the 19th and 20th centuries, par example: the world economic crisis in the Weimar Republic 1929 ff. in comparison with the second or third (?) world economic crisis, the Coronavirus Pandemic 2020 ff. A meaningful comparison can only be made by means of an interdisciplinary analysis, namely by linking economics, history and political science. The newly edited book is based on two fundamental guidelines: 'Everything is connected to everything' and 'Those who do not learn from economic history cannot shape the future'.
