First draft

Comments would be welcome on this, the first draft of this article.Nick Gardner 08:29, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Nicely done, Nick. Not fond of 'Great Recession'. Reminded of Thomas Berger's Little Big Man, I prefer 'Little Big Recession'. Nothing precludes bigger ones; would we call such 'The Greater Recession'? Anthony.Sebastian 15:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Broader perspective?

As I understand it, economic cycles have been around for centuries, with varying amplitudes. Maybe there should be something on why this one is worse than most. Or maybe it's there somewhere but might be more easily found. Peter Jackson 10:30, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
