Lots of things are missing, which would cause a world wide depression and there hasn't been a world wide depression ( which was actually kicked off by WW I/the TREATY OF VERSAILLES, BTW )since the 1930s.

You need to read more world history and financial history. If you're REALLY interested, I can give you a wee book list, to get you started.

You are operating under the false paradigm that when history repeats itself, it always does it the exact same way. Yes, things are missing. Things are also there that weren't there before.

I have been studying world history with a specific interest in the two world wars and their impact on our world culture since 1968.
