Ben Levisohn lays out the Barron's crisis playbook

This isn't 2008, when deep problems were rooted in the financial system.  Covid-19 is a health crisis, an economic crisis, and a financial crisis rolled into one - and policy makers will need to get creative to keep panic at bay...  Cooperation between nations, in short supply these days, will be required to stop the pandemic and keep the global economy afloat.  In the U.S., politicians from both sides of the aisle must find a way to work together - or risk something worse than the financial crisis.  New ideas are essential and policy makers will need to be open to them.
