The era of speedball capitalism has dawned

Original: The era of speedball capitalism

The Economist argues that a new phase of 'speedball capitalism' has arrived, in which economies swing between artificial stimulants rather than settling into steady growth. The piece describes businesses and markets increasingly fuelled by a mix of cheap money, government spending and speculation, producing rapid highs and painful crashes. Readers are debating whether this framing accurately captures today's volatile economic conditions.

Why now: The Economist's prominent new essay is prompting debate about whether the global economy has entered an unstable, stimulus-driven phase.
