One Economist to Rule Them All? Really? Do We Have To?
Last night on TV Ontario I participated in a roundtable discussion about economists’ culpability in the current financial mess, as well as about its potential for doing anything useful as we try to get out. On the one side, you had Ken Rogoff, arguing somewhat in favor of economics’ continuing credibility. On the other side you had Dan Ariely, arguing against orthodox economics, but in favor of its behavioral variant.

Economic growth has slowed since earlier in the year
Brian A. Bethune, IHS’ chief U.S. economist called the Fed's assessment “surprisingly frank description of current economic conditions.” “While this characterization of the economy is not a surprise, given the recent downward inflection of indicators on consumer and business spending…and the employment markets, the very frank description of the situation and the avoidance of the use of the typical Fed euphemisms suggests a great deal of concern about the direction of the economy”.

The Shapes That Model Retail
There has been a tremendous amount of discussion by economists and government experts in regard to the type of recession we are in, as well as the possible ways we could come out of it. There are varied opinions and speculation as to where things go from here. This is pretty clearly demonstrated in the different models, or 'shapes', that the recovery might take, which have come to be characterized by various letters of the alphabet.

So the question is, what will the economic recovery look like at a place where all the trends come together at once - such as in your own company’s financials?

A crisis is a terrible thing to waste
So what if the economy is hitting a rough spot? Once you’ve invested more in your customers, cut off the dead limbs, watered the good ones, and given your employees a chance to really shine your company is going to be stronger. If you have cash, there are great deals to be had, if you have good credit, banks are still lending. Everybody is willing to negotiate. It is a buyer’s market. Warren Buffet said “be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now high quality talent is plentiful, there are many exceptional talents looking for work and many that will work at rates favorable to your clients’ new reality. Start the hunt, hire people you couldn’t afford 12 months ago, whether full time, part time or as a contractor.
