Economic Recession: What does it mean for U.S.?
The United States has seen a recession before. You may have experienced it yourself in 2008 when homes were foreclosed, banks declared bankruptcy, and people lost their jobs.
In light of Covid-19, an economic recession seems certain. That opens a lot of questions, like:
- What exactly is a recession, and how will it impact people and our economy?
- Who makes decisions about our economy?
- What tools do decision-makers have to deal with a recession?
…and many more.
Our guest expert will go over the basics in a short, jargon-free presentation, with plenty of time to answer your questions live.
