World Economy Crash: Impact & Causes

In summary, an economy crash refers to a sharp decline in the economic activity of a country or region. It does not necessarily mean that the economy has gone somewhere else, but rather that it has suffered a significant decrease in its previous state. The idea of extraterrestrial economies is highly speculative and not supported by economic theory.

Suppose the world's economy crashes, this would mean :

1) it was not the whole world, since the Earth economy is a closed system, so the well going economy went somewhere else not known ?

2) there are extraterrestrial economies outside the solar system maybe ?

An economy crash means that the economy rapidly deteriorates compared to its previous state. It doesn't have to go somewhere else.

In addition to what @AndreasC said, it sounds like you need to study some very basic economics. Hypothesizing extraterrestrial civilizations for such a simple concept is a bit off the wall.

What do you think closed system means?

Thread closed. This is either not a serious question or it is based on a very naive understanding of how economies work.
