Is This a Recession or Not?
Podcast: Optimist EconomyPublished On: Fri Mar 28 2025
Description: Wouldn’t it be funny if we launched a podcast called “Optimist Economy” at the very moment the economy started to slide? Nice timing, us! In this bonus episode we dive into the data that has folks spooked. We also talk about if willy-nilly tariff policy (technical economic term there) is to blame, whether a recession is more like a wildfire or a hurricane, and how a recession might affect you. Also, who gets to declare, “Recession on!” Can we squeeze an ounce of optimism out of a recession episode? We try. You be the judge.Some of the stuff we talk about:GDP NowThe NBER’s Business Cycle Dating CommitteeEconomic News Releases from the Bureau of Labor StatisticsWSJ: The U.S. Economy Depends More Than Ever on Rich PeopleYou can also find Optimist Economy on:TikTokYouTubeInstagram
