Not a "recession".

A recession implies cyclical regularity with a normal economic
recovery. This is the terminal crisis for the "post-Fordist" or
"neoliberal" political-economic regime. I have a hard time accepting
the passing regime as fundamentally capitalist and would describe it
rather as stage-managed "free enterprise". I don't expect the stage
managers can easily step into that river again. There's going to be
big upheaval. The question is whether it will be accompanied and
driven by uprising or simple be suffered as dislocation.
