  Recessions in the US Economy Recession: What Happened ? The US economy went into a recession between 2003-2004. During this time, several issues cropped up which lead economists to believe that financial markets had entered an overdrive. They further believed that they would last for years, causing investors to invest heavily in risky assets out of fear (Grunert & Guilfoyle 2008). However, it was not until July 2006 that the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates. By September of the same year, stocks had already dropped by 40 % (Krugman & Wells 2012).

Amazon is going to lay off around 10,000 people in corporate and technology jobs expected from this week, it would be the biggest job reduction in the history of Amazon.

The predictions say the worst is yet to Come. Well to get a clear picture, we need to look at what is happening. so just two years after the pandemic, the global economy is once again confronted with difficult challenges as growth slowed sharply due to high inflation.

Identical things occurred earlier.   After analysing patterns of past happenings one can recognize the cause & effect relationships. One can also pen down principles to understand the different stages of Economic Cycle. In the past people dealt with the stages of Economic cycle wisely in past. Be it a financial crisis or a debt crisis. So I am explaining those stages to you. There are six stages to the cycle. Let me discuss them briefly. Firstly there's the primary part of the cycle where debt is employed to create optimum returns and then it can be managed well, value of asset increases things look great which leads to the arrival of the bubble phase of the cycle.   In the bubble phase people are in a position to generalize the past because asset goes up.

People in the previous phase did the calculations to see that maybe one won’t be able to sustain excess level of debt growth w...
