Talk:Comparisons between the Great Recession and the Great Depression

"Comparisons between the late-2000 recession and the Great Depression explores the experiences in the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland."

Why should it explore only the experiences of the recessions in those three countries? Is it only because English is spoken there as a first language? Wikipedia should have a much more worldwide view in articles like this one. Sabbut (talk) 15:47, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Contributions from outside the US would be welcome. Maybe someone could translate articles from non-English Wikipedia on their countries.

... I have seen a chart placing the economic meltdown of late 2007-early 2009 against that of late 1929-late 1932, and for nearly a year and a half the contrasted meltdowns of the economies of the time look very similar. (Note that the discussion of the meltdown of the first decade of the 21st century is shown beginning from a peak in 2007, which may not completely fit the discussion, but that is nearly a quibble).

Updates for events post 2012
Looks like the article is frozen more or less in the period 2009 - 2012, with little mention of the progress of recovery in the years since then. For example, there are stories about those who suffered the devaluation (and often loss) of their homes who have yet to recover. And there are the reports that U.S. unemployment is now around 5% overall, a figure which has, in some economic schools, been thought of a "full employment." Further, there has been ongoing stagnation in wage growth even as the economy has expanded. Food for thought and further development. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 19:37, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
