Abstract

The evolution of economic crises highlights their common elements, relatively easy to recognize; but mankind doesn't learn too much from its own history; so, we are able to recognize the futures of economic crises, but the ignorance condemns us to repeat the economic crises. However, there are several goods which are excessively traded before the economic crisis: tulips in 1637, real estate in 2007, and cryptocurrencies in the near future. In terms of research, we used a mixed strategy (deductive, inductive, comparative, historical, and casuistic).
