BREAKDOWN: The Recession Discussion Is Incredibly Dumb Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

With two quarters of negative GDP growth, are we in a recession or not?

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Chainalysis and FTX US.

“Recession” is the latest word to run afoul of our shifting definitions and political newspeak. This week, numbers from Q2 came out showing that the U.S. had seen a declining GDP for the second quarter in a row – a fairly standard definition of a recession. The political spin was immediate and tortured, but in today’s episode, NLW argues that the caring about the label itself may be the bigger problem.

“The Breakdown” is written, produced by and features Nathaniel Whittemore aka NLW, with editing by Eleanor Pahl and research by Scott Hill.
