Slacker’s Syllabus: Recession
There are daily debates about whether or not the U.S. is or is not in a recession. Honestly, I don't even know what recession means. If everyone I know is broke, and everything is expensive, does it matter what we call it?
Think of recession as a substantial decrease in economic activity experienced broadly across the economy for a sustained period of time.
