has demonstrated elements of the crisis and its causes and its burdens on the right theory of scientific socialism of Karl Marx about the importance of the role of the state and of government intervention in the planning and coordination of economic and proved they are saying balance auto market economy capitalism.
repercussions of the crisis on the Iraqi economy secretions crisis painful not confined to the financial sector, but spread to other sectors in the United States and the countries of the euro and Asian countries because of the complexity of international economic relations and link most of the economies of the U.S. economy . Iraq is not immune from the consequences of the crisis, especially that of the Iraqi economy economy ريعيا and relies almost exclusively on oil exports will naturally be affected by imports financial fluctuations caused by the crisis at the world’s oil.
budget is Iraq that depend on financing more than 95% of oil imports have been affected in directly by the crisis, Valtraja in oil prices from $ 147 to $ 42 a barrel led to a budget deficit of more than $ 19 billion. To avoid this deficit, the government went to borrow from the International Monetary Fund.

With regards to international financial transactions in the Iraqi market for securities, they are limited and confined to Iraqi companies mainly than her side bitterness of the crisis.
explosive crisis in the advanced industrial capitalist countries indication that the live stage of capitalist imperialism moribund carrying factors فنائها. Capitalism in the final analysis dug her grave in her hand as Karl Marx says in his capital.
