financial crash
Economic system failure
A financial crash is a sudden, severe decline in the value of markets, currencies, or economies.
Stock prices may plummet, banks may fail, and widespread panic often follows: The 1929 financial crash triggered the Great Depression.
Unlike gradual downturns, a crash implies speed and catastrophe—wealth evaporating in days or hours.
