RESUMO: O presente artigo discute o conceito de risco sistêmico e analisa sua relação teórica com as crises financeiras e a fragilidade financeira a partir da contribuição do professor Fernando Cardim de Carvalho. Em específico, busca-se analisar a interpretação de Cardim sobre o tema a partir do diálogo que estabelece com a literatura convencional e de sua leitura dos trabalhos de Minsky. A metodologia empregada consiste em uma revisão bibliográfica compreensiva sobre o conceito de risco sistêmico, com enfoque na obra do professor Cardim. A leitura pós-keynesiana, para a qual Cardim contribuiu sobremaneira, aponta para uma íntima conexão entre risco sistêmico, fragilidade financeira e crise sistêmica. Destacam-se o caráter endógeno desse risco e uma visão vertical sobre as crises, segundo a qual a crise afeta o sistema econômico como um todo.

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the concept of systemic risk and analyses its theoretical relationship with the concepts of financial crisis and financial fragility based on the contribution of Professor Fernando Cardim de Carvalho. More specifically, it analyses Cardim’s interpretation of those concepts based on the dialogue he establishes with the conventional literature and his own interpretation of Minsky’s works. We carry out a comprehensive literature review on systemic risk, focusing on the works of Professor Cardim. The post-Keynesian approach points to an intimate connection among systemic risk, financial fragility, and systemic crisis. We highlight the endogenous nature of systemic risk in this view and the prevalence of a vertical perspective on crises, according to which they affect the economic system as a whole and not only the financial system.
