the Great Recession

  1. The worldwide general economic decline towards the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
    • 2011 July 25, Don Peck, “Can the Middle Class Be Saved?”, in The Atlantic[1]:
      Income inequality usually shrinks during a recession, but in the Great Recession, it didn’t. From 2007 to 2009, the most-recent years for which data are available, it widened a little. [] It’s hard to miss just how unevenly the Great Recession has affected different classes of people in different places.
    • 2020 August 7, Kurt Andersen, “College-Educated Professionals Are Capitalism’s Useful Idiots”, in The Atlantic[2]:
      This was before the financial crash, before the Great Recession. The amazing real-estate bubble had not yet popped, and the economy was still apparently rocking.
    • 2022 April 28, Farhad Manjoo, “Is Elon Musk Really That Bad?”, in The New York Times[3], →ISSN:
      But starting a rocket company is what Musk did — and, after also pouring money into another money-burning venture, Tesla, Musk came very close to losing it all after the Great Recession.
