i have heard it said raising interest rates would actually be the instigator of a huge crunch/crash
reason being that for the last 10 years or so, companies all over have been soaking up "cheap" capital from what is basically basically zero interest loans
these debts are what is keeping those companies floating/alive, and if rates were increased even a bit, it could be devastating by causing a quick succession of bankruptcies (supposedly this was why trump was so angry at the fed for pondering raising the rate)
anyways, im not an expert, but it seemed plausible...
