List of recessions

16 Recessions Since 1919 That’s an average of one every 6 years. (They’ve become less frequent since 1919.)

Causes Businesses –By predicting recessions they can cause and/or prolong recessions! Consumers –cause “bubbles” (housing, etc.) –save money when they get scared. This makes recessions last longer!

II. Causes The tulip-bulb bubble.
