* There are differing views as to where the economy’s current stage in the business cycle is and as is common in politics, the speeches are always suited to the audience as and when required. However, the best way to judge the current stage is to take a specific trend that is always impacted during a peak or a recession.

The Great Depression of the 1930’s was an economic catastrophe in which the American stock market crashed and citizens lost millions of dollars. Near the end of the Great Depression the movie The Wizard of Oz was produced, and became a groundbreaking movie about a farmer’s daughter’s search to get home after she was blown away in a twister to the Land of Oz. The time period in which the movie was produced and how well it was received raises the question: how does the film’s popularity relate to the Great Depression?…

I asked my dad what he thought the best time for America was and he said it was when everyone was granted the right to vote (not denied by gender or race). He said this was a good time for America because it gave everyone a chance to choose who they wanted to be ruled under or who they wanted to represent them as a state. He liked how the American people could vote for someone whom they agreed views with. Furthermore, he said that another reputable time for America was the economy after the 2008 recession. During the 2008 recession, many Americans were losing jobs, money, and affordability of the necessities to live like food and shelter. Anyhow, after the recession, people were getting their jobs back and were able to stimulate the…
Many countries will either experience a depression, recession, or both at some point in time. A depression is much more severe than a recession. A recession leads to a depression.

Was the New Deal beneficial to America? Some may say yes for various reasons. Others would reflect on that question and give more thought on what exactly the New Deal accomplished. They would reply with a no. Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New Deal because he was eager to see immediate change no matter the cost… People look back on those historic years and view him as a savior, but why? Do we know for sure what the New Deal brought us? To answer these questions, the New Deal hurt our nation, and it brought more problems than solutions.…
Recessions are generally believed to be caused by a widespread drop in spending. Beginning in the United States in December 2007 the industrialized world has been undergoing a recession, a pronounced deceleration of economic activity. The financial crisis has been linked to reckless and unsustainable lending practices resulting from the deregulation and securitization of real estate mortgages in the United States. Whatever the cause, there is one question that has been getting the least amount of attention; what effects does the economy have on our health as a society? The World Health Organization has defined health as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. So,…

The Recession of 2008 caused widespread panic and distress globally. Trillions of dollars were lost during this time. It was a frightening time for people because they were unsure of what was to come regarding their situations. These losses of money lead to a decrease in consumer spending, which decreased the GDP. This then invoked companies to lower salaries and cut large numbers of their employees. The huge loss of jobs made the unemployment rate skyrocket. All of these consequences of the Recession put many people under stress and lead to an increase in poverty in working class families. The documentary, Inside Job, covered the causes and consequences of the Recession in great depth. There are many underlying causes that lead to…
