Contractionary Bad Times
|
|
|
Contractionary bad times give us the most problems.- First: Real GDP declines during a contraction. This means less production for the four sectors to buy.
- Second: Unemployment increases. Resources, especially labor, produce less and receive less income. 3-5 million workers newly employed.
- Third: The incomes of employed resources also tend to fall, or at least not rise as much as an expansion.
- Fourth: Business profits decline and bankruptcies increase.
- Fifth: Social problems, including crime, poverty, and alcoholism, worsen.
But contractions have some good:- Inflation remains low or declines.
- Some resources are more efficiently allocated.
