Why not? Really, I'm asking this as a serious question. I guess I'm asking for the underlying prolegomena of what is meant by "The Natural Business Cycle" and introduction and defnition of the terms that will be used for further discussing of whatever polemics you are advocating.
I mean really, why is this not a part of a natural business cycle? |
When I see people saying "it's just the natural business cycle", I see them trying to say that the present goings-on are ORDINARY, as in "the economy isn't fucked". It's possible that I'm misinterpreting.

OOOOOOOOoooooooooohhhhh.
I see.
NATURAL doesn't mean the same thing as ORDINARY.
If that's the general gist of the mis-understanding then I retract my question. Perhaps discussing the distinction between natural and ordinary business cycles would be fruitful but the relation between economics and etymology would end up being tenous and practically irrelevant to this discussion.
