Combining the historian's extensive primary source material and the economist's arsenal of statistical analysis, this book rewrites what we know about recessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to popular perception, recessions are not the inevitable bust that follows an unsustainable boom, and they do not operate like wildfires that clear out economic deadwood. Recessions are caused by adverse shocks like war and energy price spikes, and far from unleashing gales of creative destruction, after a recession, economic growth typically resumes the same trend as before—all pain, no gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile recessions have become less frequent over time, decisions made by businesses and governments can prolong recessions, and Goodspeed offers guidance to avoid making recessions worse. Issuing an important corrective to economic thinking, \u003cem\u003eRecession\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for high-level policymakers and armchair economists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341055967468,"sku":"9781399832267","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/485f86487608c7dd6b23163f855cbe76.jpg?v=1772190230","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/recession-by-tyler-goodspeed-9781399832267","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
