Economic and financial instability in the field of national security

Abstract

The economy is a fundamental element in our lives; regardless of the academic knowledge we have of it, everyone has basic knowledge on this fact to manage in our daily lives. Despite being an issue that we can all talk about, it is a great unknown because even the most experts in the field have not been able to predict the crisis of the last decade (and that is a fact that the economy moves through cycles). The economy is a fundamental factor for national security and consequently for state intelligence services, although all economic, public and private actors must be included within this responsibility; in this way one can confirm the saying that «the union makes the force».
