GOOD Infographic on the History of the US Economy

GOOD Sheet

Nigel Holmes created an cool infographic for GOOD on the history of the US economy.

What most of the doom-and-gloom reports on our economy don’t provide is perspective—a historical survey of an economy that’s been through more than a few ups and downs in its day. Here’s a farsighted view of how our temperamental economic machine works, and a close-up of how it stands today.
