pk beat post modern recessions private-sector overreach...

" Long before Reinhart and Rogoff..."

                       it was already obvious to many


" we were looking at a “postmodern” recession like 1990-91 or 2001"

", which was likely to be followed by an extended jobless recovery."


" That is, this was not going to be a Fed-generated slump like 1981-82"

", which would be followed by a quick rebound once the Fed relented"


" it was a case of private-sector overreach,
                                         and was likely to go on for a long time "
