The patch from 1982-2000/2008 was capitalism’s longest sustained expansion. It was an expansion, however, driven by ever–increasing amounts of assign emanating from Wall Street and central banks. Capitalism’s longest and greatest expansion was, in certainty, a credit bubble in disguise.
The historic and extraordinary credit expansion boom faltered in March 2000 when the US dot.com fizz collapsed. More cheap credit from Greenspan’s Fed then reflated the bubble, driving markets to new highs only to again go bankrupt in 2008, a cataclysmic rendering resulting in global losses exceeding $10 trillion.
The explosive progress of credit from 1982 to 2008 was credit-based capitalism’s final blow-off, the late-tier credit expansion predicted by von Mises in 1949; the resultant and parabolic rise in equities from 1997-2000 a abandon that von Mises’ crack-up boom was underway.
That the crack-up boom has already happened is further evidenced by von Mises’ flying into real values which began in 2001, a consequence of the crack up boom. The flight into real values started after the dot.com air pocket collapsed and investors began moving to the safety of gold (the price of gold has since quintupled); and, when markets collapsed again in 2008, the retreat to real values, i.e. gold, accelerated.
