Abstract

The paper gives basic theoretical ideas of the financial instability hypothesis invented by Hyman Philip Minsky. The author shows how this theory explains the Global Crisis 2008 - 2009 and previous crises in the Western countries. The special attention is devoted to the crises in the Post-Soviet Russian economy - from financial crisis of August 1998 to the bankruptcies of travel agencies of the North-West in 2014 - 2015.
