If the US tips from mild recession into deep recession, the global deflationary implications will cancel out some of the inflationary pressures the world is facing.

GENEVA As recession spreads around the world, the global production networks that arose with the globalization of the world economy have become sources of cutbacks and job losses. Postponing purchases of new winter coats in the United States means job losses in Poland or China.

CAMBRIDGE The United States is going through difficult times. Its post 2008 recovery has slowed, and some observers fear that Europe s financial problems could tip the American and world economy into a second recession.

For countries like China or India, the scaling down of growth from 8 to 5 is nearly the equivalent of a recession in the West. Yesterday, when America sneezed, the world caught a cold.

And four, a global recession that has fundamentally shocked consumer behaviors.

Well, organized crime has already adapted very well to the recession.

The unemployment rate went up to 5 because of the recession.

Even before the current economic recession, unemployment in the Arab world was estimated at 14 the world s highest average outside sub Saharan Africa. Among young people and recent graduates, the figure is more than double.

We'll see the same thing in the economic recession we're having now.

In the crisis, in the recession, what do people want to do?

And it's an industry which has bucked the current recession with equanimity.

Consider the oil crisis that began in November 1973, resulting in a world stock market crash and a sharp world recession. Vivid images have stuck in people s minds from that episode long lines of cars at gas stations, people riding bicycles to work, gasless Sundays and other rationing schemes.

I was reading headlines about the recession just like anyone else, and I started to notice a distinct pattern that the recession was affecting men much more deeply than it was affecting women.
