Interesting chart… and it shows a different thing that might be more problematic on a long run: the smallest growths or recessions happened within the last 20 years over a 60 years period.
In other words, with another graph, you would see that GDP is more and more smaller or negative within the last 20 years and the trend is not good for almost all occidental countries.

Great site. If the government continues to borrow and spend trillions of dollars then GDP will rise. Within a positive environment of institutional stability and technological advances, the degree of individual willingness and abilities is what ultimately facilitates the more productive use of economic resources and the accumulation of capital necessary for future economic growth.
