Talk:Recession

Added "Better reference" section

This article should use a few of the oldest references available for the definition of the term recession, preferably hard-copy textbooks on economics that cannot be electronically altered on a whim. I don't currently have access to such old books, but I've heard talk show commentators state that the definition of two successive quarters of declining GDP/GNP has been in use for at least half a century, i.e., since the 1970s, or earlier, well before the World Wide Web and eBooks. The attempt by the Biden mob in late July 2022 to redefine the term should not be respected, although it should be noted for what it is — an Orwellian redefinition to avoid objective evaluation of their poor performance. — Dave Wilcox (talk) 12:30, August 8, 2022 (EDT)
