8. thanks for that link, though i'm not sure how widely agreed that is |
|
for instance, just a basic point is that economists usually refer to the great depression as the great contraction and time it from 1929-1933. the period from '33-'37 was marked by HUGE annual growth, though not enough to get back to pre-contraction levels and make people feel we would "done" with it.
i guess there's no universal agreement as to occurrence and timing of recessions, so my question is not definitively answerable.

6. Has any other president been responsible |
|
for a recession during wartime (for this exercise, we'll just scrap the fact that he started the war for nothing more than his own entertainment)?

The first recession was Bill Clinton's fault and the next recession will be Barack Obama's fault.
