Hurricanes
and tornados are all named by some government body or other.
But economic crises never are. Why is that?
The
1929-34 depression is just called The Great Depression,
not Depression Tony, or Greg.
The
1974 oil crisis is just the 1974 oil crisis, not Monty,
or Harold.
How
much better the last full blow recession of the early 1980's
would sound now if we had named it, say Hilda or Betty.
So,
today our panel of experts are going to suggest their best
names for this upcoming depression... Suggest yours at editor@thevoiceofreason.com.
