Sure, this is only a recession so far and on Monday a recovery of the stock is expected after a worldwide coordinated plan is coming. Even if that works, the problem is far from over as the IMF, World Bank, and major players state the risk. But back to calling names... From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(economics) "There is no official definition for a depression." "a depression is characterized by 'unusual' increases" [ ] "unusual" increases in unemployment [ X ] restriction of credit [ X ] shrinking output and investment [ X ] price deflation or hyperinflation [ X ] numerous bankruptcies [ X ] reduced amounts of trade and commerce [ X ] volatile/erratic relative currency value fluctuations Many of those are just starting but coming strong. For example all the announcements on mass layoffs (eBay, HP, and Virginia state.)
