Надвигается величайшая экономическая катастрофа (проф. Цзян Сюэцинь)

Hi everyone, we're back with a new analysis today. As usual, I'll share my analysis along with my personal and creative critique at the end, so you can also get my personal perspective. Rising oil prices could be just the beginning of a much bigger economic problem. Oil is at the heart of the global economy. It is not only used for gasoline and transportation—it also affects the cost of shipping, manufacturing, agriculture, heating, and countless everyday products. When oil prices rise sharply, companies face higher costs. Those costs are often passed on to consumers, driving inflation higher and reducing people’s purchasing power. At the same time, businesses may reduce investment, cut production, or even lay off workers if their costs become too high. The consequences can spread from one sector to another. More expensive transportation means more expensive food and products. Higher production costs can put pressure on businesses. Central banks may then face difficult choices as they try to control inflation without damaging economic growth. And this is where the real danger lies: a prolonged energy shock can create a chain reaction throughout the global economy. If geopolitical tensions continue and energy supplies remain uncertain, the world could face a period of higher inflation, weaker economic growth, financial stress, and increasing pressure on households and businesses. Rising oil prices alone do not guarantee an economic collapse. But they can become a powerful catalyst for a much broader economic crisis if the shock is large and lasts long enough.
