This in turn, resulted in businesses being unable to sell their products, ultimately grinding the economy to a halt. Is this an accurate representation of what caused the Great Depression?arrow_forwardFill in the blank. ALEX: Hi, Becky. I’m intrigued to see how macroeconomics allows us to explain recent economic events such as the Great Recession that affected so many people. But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Was the collapse of the housing bubble the only cause of the recession, or were there other factors as well? BECKY: Hi, Alex. I agree that macroeconomic theory offers an entirely new perspective on how the economy works. To answer your question, the crash of the housing market was a major factor but not the only cause of the Great Recession. The professor mentioned that the __________ (options: financial, fiscal, government) system deteriorated as well, an event that deepened the economic downturn even further. ALEX: I see.

JM Keynes wrote about the master economist: ..."He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future".
