The paper discusses the implications of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 within the context of globalisation, emphasizing the interconnectedness of financial systems and real economy imbalances. It explores how this crisis reflects deeper underlying vulnerabilities and questions the narrative of globalisation as solely beneficial, suggesting a critical reassessment of its trajectory. The text draws on historical perspectives of globalisation to frame contemporary economic challenges.
