The fifth one is the hardest one to name in a pithy way, but I think in some ways it was the most complicated because I would say if you
Wanted to describe it, I would say it was the combination of COVID recovery, when there was a ton of stimulus put into the economy, and the Ukraine invasion.
The combination of those things drove up inflation, drove up interest rates.
And I think it's fair to say we are still kind of reeling from that.
I think they even had political implications in terms of how, you know, what what president got elected and for what reasons and so on.
In terms of
So so that I think was a very sticky crisis.
It also
Involved the way we work, not just markets, not just, oh, the interest rates are we're going to bring them down to try to reflate the economy and all that, but really the literally the way people work, you know, trying to work from home and, you know, not having the same sort of in-office culture and training and kind of team efforts to to win and do business.
And so it that's been a hard one, I think, for American business to work their way through.
Well, I think, you know, the nineteen seventies was a really stagnant period.
I mean, I I was in high school in early years of college in that period, but it was really stagnant, right?
The Dow Jones was lower kind of at the end of that decade than it was at the beginning.
So that that's a long, difficult period.
And and I think what you know, with Ronald Reagan, with a view that we're gonna be more kind of more real capitalism, we're gonna, you know, let capital flow freely, we're gonna reduce regulation, reduce taxes, all that kind of stuff and try to get things to grow, that that
That that was kind of that spread around the world to a fair degree.
And now that I look back as a nation and we think about whether we want to reverse globalization, I think back like what were the key events?
I would say number one, the European Union really coming together in a more meaningful way, right?
Meaningful way.
There's not a day they just sort of okay, we're gonna have a European Union.
