Fascinating time-line of US economic cycles. Someone should make a wall chart out of this – I would buy a copy. (via St Louis Fed and The Big Picture)
A nice companion piece perhaps is Irving Fisher’s 1932 “Booms and Depressions: Some First Principles“:
An addictive collection of beautiful charts, graphs, maps, and interactive data visualization toys -- on topics from around the world.
