Economics Anyone?

The American stock market crashed slightly on Monday. It was the sharpest decline in two years. In Japan, the decline was much worse, as the Japanese stock markets had their worst day since 1987.


Editorial Cartoon from the Southern Utah Independent.

On Tuesday everything basically returned to 'normal'... maybe. Whatever normal is. The economy's growth seems to be slowing, inflation is real, the job market isn't that great and a recession may be coming. The experts aren't so sure if normal is coming back, and neither am I.

I wrote an online pamphlet a few months ago for a class that I thought some people here might find interesting. The goal was to help people visualize the actions the Fed took post great-recession, the effects they had on the stock and bond markets, and whether they helped Americans on the whole.
