The biggest problem for the global economy in 2019 will be massive business failures. Perhaps bank failures, too.

On the demand side, the end of free money will make it difficult for consumers to take on more debt. On the supply side, it could push low-profit business off the cliff.

Simply put, the end of free money is setting the global economy into a vicious cycle of slower growth. Less consumer debt could fuel less spending. And less spending could fuel waves of business failures.

That’s what happened in 2008-9, shortly after the Federal Reserve raise interest rates and the US economy slid into a recession. US Business failures soared to 6,000 per quarter, while bank failures reached 157.

Compounding the problem this time around is the rise of anti-globalization ideologies around the world, which add to pessimism for the state of the global economy in 2019.
