"The downturn’s longest shadow outside the United States fell on British productivity. For five decades before 2008, according to the Office for National Statistics, output per hour worked in the United Kingdom rose steadily by around 2 per cent a year. In the decade after the downturn it rose by 0.3 per cent a year, a weakness the ONS described in 2020 as deeper and longer than any since the 1890s."

"Enacted as Public Law 111-5 in February 2009, the Recovery Act still goes by its first CBO estimate of $787 billion. Taken apart title by title, it held tax credits, money to keep state budgets whole, larger unemployment and food benefits, and roads and rail. Its cost kept moving with the recession, and the final CBO report on it, in 2015, settled on $836 billion."

"Firms founded in a recession start smaller and stay smaller, and the cohort research blames missing customers more than tight credit: a firm opened in Poznań in 2009 met a market still spending, one opened in Madrid a contraction.

"Early summer is when the studios release their blockbusters and their flops, and in the summer of 2023 the Federal Reserve was to release its own: FedNow, a platform for the instant settlement of payments between banks, which the Fed had described as infrastructure and its critics described as the plumbing for a digital dollar. This page kept two things about that moment: the argument being made for going further, and the Fed’s record, which was the argument against."
