The MSE site is running an interesting poll:
Which of these is CLOSEST to your view of the shape of the economic growth?
- ?. I haven’t a clue.
- L. A flat(ish) period will follow the sharp drop we’ve just had.
- V. We’ll now have a sharp rise following the sharp drop.
- W. We’ve had a sharp drop but it’s going to drop again.
The poll has been answered presumably mostly by my fellow Britons, and as of this posting (16th Sep) there were only a third saying the same as me, namely W shaped. Nearly half said L shaped. It will be interesting to watch events unfold with this knowledge.
