Recession is a normal, albeit unpleasant, part of the business cycle. Recessions are characterized by a rash of business failures and often bank failures, slow or negative growth in production, and elevated unemployment. The economic pain caused by recessions, though temporary, can have major effects that alter an economy. This can occur due to structural shifts in the economy as vulnerable or obsolete firms, industries, or technologies fail and are swept away; dramatic policy responses by government and monetary authorities, which can literally rewrite the rules for businesses; or social and political upheaval resulting from widespread unemployment and economic distress. 4, record 2, English, - economic%20recession

Bien que les récessions puissent avoir des effets importants sur l'économie, elles font partie intégrante des cycles économiques : l'économie connait une phase d'expansion jusqu'à atteindre un sommet et pour enfin se rétracter. Un pays est considéré comme étant en récession lorsqu'il passe le pic de croissance et entre en phase de contraction économique. 4, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9cession%20%C3%A9conomique
