A worst-case scenario is a concept in risk management wherein the planner, in planning for potential disasters, considers the most severe possible outcome that can reasonably be projected to occur in a given situation.

The book Worst Case Scenario Extreme Edition provides hands-on strategies for surviving an elephant stampede, a 16-car pile-up, a mine collapse, and a nuclear attack. Discover how to take a bullet, control a runaway hot air balloon, break a gorilla’s grip, endure a Turkish prison, free a limb from a beartrap, chased by a pack of wolves, or buried alive.

Alas, the book does not cover worst case Fed scenarios brought about by Fed policies.

The result is bubbles of increasing amplitude over time.
