A short-term debt cycle, (which is commonly called the business cycle), arises from a) the rate of growth in
spending (i.e., total $ funded by the rates of growth in money and credit) being faster than the rate of growth in
the capacity to produce (i.e., total Q) leading to price (P) increases until b) the rate of growth in spending is
curtailed by tight money and credit, at which time a recession occurs. In other words, a recession is an economic
contraction that is due to a contraction in private sector debt growth arising from tight central bank policy
(usually to fight inflation), which ends when the central bank eases. Recessions end when central banks lower
interest rates to stimulate demand for goods and services and the credit growth that finances these purchases,
because lower interest rates 1) reduce debt service costs; 2) lower monthly payments (de-facto, the costs) of
items bought on credit, which stimulates the demand for them; and 3) raise the prices of income-producing
assets like stocks, bonds and real estate through the present value effect of discounting their expected cash flows
at the lower interest rates, producing a “wealth effect” on spending.
