Wikipedia's description of the four bullets which make up a banana republic:
Profits Privatized and Debts Socialized
"A collusion between the overweening state and certain favored monopolistic concerns, whereby the profits can be privatized and the debts socialized."
Devalued Paper Currency
"Devalued paper currency in the international community."
Politicians Use Time in Office to Maximize Their Own Gains
"Kleptocracy -- those in positions of influence use their time in office to maximize their own gains, always ensuring that any shortfall is made up by those unfortunates whose daily life involves earning money rather than making it."
Corruption Remains Unchecked, Politicians Are Only for Show
"There must be no principle of accountability within the government so that the political corruption by which the banana republic operates is left unchecked. The members of the national legislature will be (a) largely for sale and (b) consulted only for ceremonial and rubber-stamp purposes some time after all the truly important decisions have already been made elsewhere."

Look up the laws of economic liberty
Liberty's Dictator, our triune God, tells us His law word needs to be established in every area of life. Economics is one of those areas. The world economy today is doomed because it's two classes, the hosts and the parasites, are morally and religiously corrupt. Instead of being a participant of that fiat law order of economic private property destruction (sooner or later); recognize, learn, and establish the law that is regenerating (to name a few):
