Insurance, in broad terms, is protection against risk. To calculate premium vs. payout, two things need to be known: how much liability is possible (what they have to pay out) and how likely it is to happen.
On a grand scale, things like when you die, how often you crash a car, or how often your house catches fire can be predicted statistically. The costs can be estimated and defined.
Loss through depression is impossible to price. There are too many variables to estimate loss with any reasonable amount of certainty, and the probability is unknown.
Additionally, you can't get insurance for something that is currently happening. We are in a depression (or recession, depends on your definition). No insurance company would ever insure against something currently happening (which is why you cant insure your house while it's on fire, a crashed car, or a stolen painting).

Are pure risks always insurable?
Pure RisksPure risks, or those that have the possibility of loss or no loss, but no possibility of gain, are insurable, but there are criteria that must be met before they will be insured. So, no, they are not ALWAYS insurable. For example, a person who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer who attempts to acquire insurance will generally be refused. Though it is a pure risk because the person will either live (no loss) or die (loss), factors that determine eligibility for insurance are not met for that person. Likewise, a homeowner who has had previous fires in their homes may not be able to find insurance because they are considered too great a risk to insure, even though there will either be no fires (no loss) or there will be (loss) at their current home.There is another type of risk that is not insurable. Speculative risk, or risk with a possibility of gain, is that type of risk.

A business partner, for example, may also have an insurable interest supportant to support a life insurance policy on the other party; if the other party dies, there may be a financial loss, and that is the key. As to liability insurance, one would have an insurable interest if he/she/it stands to lose financially were a third party to make a claim for a covered loss.
