...I like that one... I'd still predict a W, but your point is well taken, that the upside of a burst bubble is usually a very slow climb. We've seen that in telecom, Japan, and elsewhere... it's greed vs fear, and fear is much more powerful!
In no way do I claim to be an expert in economics (or especially humanities), and obviously the complexities of the current shifts in wealth globally, associated with outsourcing etc are going to impact us here well into the future in various ways. I don't think shifts like this necessarily invalidate the Keynesian approach, but obviously the whole bigger picture needs to be considered in policy making. While there may be some ill-timed or excessive stimulus spending in the US today, it's the excess + lack of debt reduction of the previous years that is the bigger problem... not just at the government level, but by many businesses + individuals' personal finances as well... at the core, good Keynesian policy averages a balanced budget, with surpluses in good times + (hopefully small) deficits in bad times (and no inherent need to ever fall into debt)... it's the deficits in good times that are the big problem! I'm amazed by the lack of fiscal conservatism we see to day (both in the population + by governments, even "Conservative" ones)... root cause of all of this mess! and probably something we agree on?
