Talk:Secular stagnation

Merge with Economic stagnation

This article was created by a disruptive editor trying to push POV. It needs to be merged with Economic stagnation where it belongs.Phmoreno (talk) 19:47, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

I disagree. Secular stagnation has attracted a lot of attention since 2009. It makes perfect sense to mention and briefly explain the concept within Economic stagnation, but the subject itself is sufficiently extensive and important to warrant an article of its own instead of overcrowding Economic stagnation. --Arbraxan (talk) 20:27, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Arbraxan. "Secular stagnation theory" is not at all the same concept as "economic stagnation", at least not for economists and other social scientists. Let's not go illiterate. But it is true, that parts of the secular stagnation theory article have already been included in the economic stagnation article.Cambridge Optic (talk) 06:51, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Article title

Why is the article title "Secular stagnation theory" and not the simpler and much more common term "Secular stagnation"? The article is largely about the discussion around and evolving meaning of that term and is thin on theory – at least, I think "theory" is too grandiose a label for the various attempts to explain verbally what is happening in secular stagnation.  --Lambiam 09:42, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

COVID update needed?

In wake of COVID’s economic effects, and effects of measures to try and avoid recession, inflation increased in many economies - including those thought to be going through secular stagnation - again. Unemployment also fell in some.

point being, maybe some update needs to be made in light of higher inflation Post COVID? iamthinking2202 (please ping on reply if you would be so kind) 10:53, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
