What are they going to call this depression?

[thehighwaymanq]

If the one in the 30's was the Great Depression, is this going to be the Ultra Great Depression? Or The Worse Depression? Possibly Greatest Depression?

What ya got?

Maybe, "The Depression nobody saw coming!"

Eventually, I believe the history books will call it the time of economic doupleplus ungood.

I know the British media calls it the "credit crunch"

 

[nate895]

They will probably simply call it the "Depression of 2008-whatever", economists and historians aren't very creative people.

Well World War 1 was originally known as 'The Great War', until an even greater war came along.
So there you have the analogie. I go for World Depression 2

Global financial crisis of 2008, says wikipedia.

If the left has its way, it will be called the Bush depression.

If the right has its way, it will be called the Obama depression.

I think in 20 to 30 years (depending on how long it lasts), it will be called Great Depression 2, and the one in the 1930's will be called Great Depression 1.

"The Grand Depression"
"The Trillions Depression"
"The Forever Depression"
"The Final Depression" (we kill ourselves over food, leaving only those who have stocked food left to survive....new world order indeed--only ones left are the rich, oops, who's gonna build that jet for ya honey???)

what's greater than the Great Depression?

if things turn out like it looks, it'll be called the Greater Depression. I can't take credit for this, I got it from TV.

That's assuming they ever admit we're in a depression.

I think they'll abandon the term "depression", and replace it with something else, just like they abandoned the term "panic" and replaced it with "depression", and just like they invented other words like "recession".

"Global economic slowdown" is my bet. ::shrug::

The word "depression" is too harsh sounding for our sophisticated age.
