La recesión de 2001 en Estados Unidos

Abstract

THIS ARTICLE ANALYZES THE RECESSION THAT OCCURRED IN 2001 IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE DISCUSSION THAT AROSE AT THE TIME ABOUT THE POSSIBLE LENGTH AND DEPTH OF THE ECONOMIC DOWNSWING. IT REVIEWS THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE NINETIES AND POINTS OUT SOME OF THE FIRST SIGNS THAT THE EXTRAORDINARY TEN YEAR EXPANSION WAS COMING TO AN END LONG BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11. IT DISCUSSES THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION´S AFFIRMATIONS THAT THE ECONOMY IS WELL ON ITS WAY TO RECOVERY. THE ARTICLE CONCLUDES BY ASCERTAINING THAT ONE OF THE MOST LONG LASTING EFFECTS, OF WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A MILD RECESSION, WILL PROBABLY BE MORE INEQUALITY OF INCOMES IN THE US, AS WAS THE CASE WITH THE PREVIOUS RECESSION.
