This “Recession” May Be Something Other Than A Recession

I think that although we may well experience the two sequential down quarters of growth that would put us officially into a “Recession,” it will mask the reality that we are in (not “entering”) something different.

There really is a global economy so that ecoonmic conditions are also global. Want to build a business? Leverage your brain instead of capital-intensive property, plant and equipment (soft vs. hard assets). The list goes on. It isn’t hard to observe all sorts of fundamental changes that I think point to a conclusion that the Knowledge Economy is real and growing and fundamentally different than the Hard Asset Economy from which we are moving.
If we are indeed shifting from a Manufacturing to a Knowledge economy, wouldn’t it be fair to say that the characteristics of one (such as an economic downturn defined as a “recession”) would not be characteristics of the other? Didn’t the characteristics of agraian economies largely become irrelevant to enterprises involved in manufacturing?
