There is a direct relationship between declines in wealth and declines in consumption and business investment, which along with government spending, represent the economic engine.

Adding information:
The financial crisis was globally contagious, as the credit crunch resulting from the burst of the real estate bubble spread quickly to effect banks worldwide; which caused bank failures and collapse of the stock markets.This is a new challenge to the global economy, as economies become increasingly susceptible to the economies of foreign countries.
