Economic crises can significantly affect political stability by exacerbating public discontent, leading to protests, unrest, and even shifts in political power. During such crises, governments often face immense pressure to address issues like unemployment, inflation, and declining public services. If these issues are mishandled, it could pave the way for rising populism, authoritarianism, or the collapse of existing political structures. Consequently, economic challenges can create an environment where political extremism gains traction.
