Economically, this approach cannot be rerun because it depended on a very particular context â the âlong boomâ of the 1990s and early 2000s. The high growth of this period was the product of a unique set of circumstances, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and the entry of the former Communist bloc into global markets at the same time as market reforms in China, creating a âgreat doublingâ of the global workforce. This glut of cheap labour, alongside the liberalisation of trade and financial flows, the great wave of privatisation that fuelled the expansion of capital markets, and the rapid onset of financialisation and bidding up of asset values, gave rise to a synthetic boom.
