Može "posrnula ekonomija", mada mislim da bi bio poželjniji neki "teži" izraz od "posrnula", nešto da se naglasi razlika između totalne dubioze na početku do "brzorastuće ekonomije" kasnije. To kažem zbog ovoga hopeless u definiciji. Možda, "propala ekonomija" ili "u beznadežnoj ekonomskoj situaciji"...

: da, beznadežan slučaj (ne baš do "dna" , nego kao slučaj za sanaciju) - OK . // Sa ..ekonomijom se ne slažem, onda je bolje: "bili su u klasičnoj sanaciji" - što je definisano mnogo tačnije .
