The End of Recessions?, with Ben Carlson

<p>#333: In the 1890s and early 1900’s, we had recessions every two years.</p> <p>From 2009 to 2020, we enjoyed an 11-year bull run, the longest bull run in history. And when we finally had a recession, it lasted only two months. It was the shortest recession in U.S. history.</p> <p>The duration between recessions is growing longer (these days, we average 10 years between recessions, as opposed to two years at the turn of the previous century).</p> <p>And when recessions strike, we recover faster. The average length of recessions is growing shorter.</p> <p>What does this mean? If we project these trends into the future, are we bound for the end of recessions?</p> <p>That’s the question that kicks off this discussion with Ben Carlson, Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritzhold Wealth Management and the host of the Animal Spirits podcast.</p> <p>For more information, visit the show notes at <a href= "https://affordanything.com/episode333" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://affordanything.com/episode333</a></p>
