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 agreements, from the Tulip Mania and the South Sea Bubble through the Great Depression, Bretton Woods, the 1970s stagflation, the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 stimulus response. This band is left as a flat listing by deliberate structure-wave scope call rather than subdivided by crisis type, because a real crisis typology would cut against this field's own defining character: competing schools of thought routinely offer genuinely different causal accounts of the same event, and forcing an event into one crisis-type bucket would flatten a live scholarly disagreement this atlas otherwise states plainly. A future structure lane should re-open this scope call if the event count grows substantially further.
