Abstract
This paper aims to review the relationship between crisis theories in Mainstream economics, Post-Keynesian economics, Marxian economics and income inequality, especially within the context of great recession. Emergence of the great recession and its devastating effects, not only on financial sectors likewise on real economy brought discussions of origin of crises back in fashion. Inequality was accepted as an important factor contributing to great recession and it is brought to the fore in crisis theories due to sharply increased income inequality before the great recession even though there is disagreement amongst different schools of thought on causes of crisis.
