The D-word
Signs of a pending depression? The Economist's D-word index
MANY comparisons may be made between the devastaion being wrought on America's financial system today and the Wall Street crash of 1929. One similarity that the world is desperate to avoid is a reeat of the depression of the 1930s. Hopes are pinned on the American bail-out plan that the House of Representatives is set to reconsider on Friday October 3rd. If the fear of depression is anything to go by, the future looks bleak. A survey of newspaper articles over the past two decades shows a sharp spike in mentions of the dreaded D-word, as commentators have started to think the worst. The prognostications may possibly turn out to be true, or perhaps the only thing we have to fear are the fears of journalists themselves.
