There's not much question that a recession is coming. But when? And what form will it take?
The last recession was driven by a price collapse in housing. That was unusual. The next one is more likely to be driven by trade problems, which is more common historically. Also, the last few years have seen a lot of investment into stuff that's not paying off, and after a few years, that comes back to bite you.
Perhaps the next thing will be large scale consumerism exhaustion. Consumers not getting the same thrill out of a new car or the latest iDevice that they used to stop buying so much new stuff. Not for ecological or ideological reasons but just out of boredom or exhaustion of the consumer cycle. Even fashion trends seem to be slowing down with less and less reason to buy a new wardrobe as often.
