Events

Event entities are the specific historical episodes this atlas documents: financial crises and panics, currency and hyperinflation episodes, asset price bubbles, depressions and recessions, and landmark policy actions and international agreements. This category is left as a flat listing by deliberate structure-wave scope call rather than subdivided into a crisis typology, because this field's defining character is that competing schools of thought routinely offer genuinely different causal accounts of the very same event, most visibly the Depression and the 2008 crisis, and a forced crisis-type bucket would flatten that live disagreement rather than represent it; a future structure lane should re-open this scope call if the event count grows substantially further.
