Questions about the financial crisis?

[NJ5]

If we are lucky, the system doesn't collapse totally during the next few weeks. There might be a straw waiting to break the camel's back.

If such a collapse doesn't happen, it's impossible for me to determine when the crisis will be over. But one thing's for sure... with peak oil production getting nearer and nearer (if not past already), recovering to the same economic level gets harder and harder. We may well never see again the kind of world we have today.
