Dusting off the ole crystal ball, for the next 2-5 years, I see a steep and persistent recession and a bout of deflation as nearly certain, but not a depression. Contrary to intuitive reasoning, general civil disorder is extremely unlikely, but job stress and financial stringenyc will be pervasive. On the plus side, people will refocus on family and friends and will develop a keener sense of fundamantal value.
That's true.
