Forbes: Recession Still Nowhere To Be Seen: What You Need To Know...
By SIMON CONSTABLE
Enough already with the recession talk.
For at least six months, many economists have been forecasting an imminent economic pullback or collapse that would crush the U.S. economy.
Like so many things forecast in the media, it hasn’t happened. Not by a long way. A piece I wrote in June indicated there were few signs of recession, just slower growth.
Still, the calls of economic oblivion keep on coming relentlessly and yet no recession has emerged.
That failure and similar ones is probably the root of the Wall Street quip: “Economists were invented to make astrologers look good.” And those astrologers are looking better every day.
