# Event Details - **Event Name**: Recession (LSE Public Lecture with Economist Tyler Goodspeed) - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Thu, 12 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Book launch featuring Economist Tyler GoodspeedAbout this EventIn his new book, Recession, American economist Tyler Goodspeed explores why recessions start, how long they last, and how to avoid them in the first place.What causes a recession? Do recessions end on their own, or do they require external intervention? Does a recession in one country mean the rest of the world will follow? Are we in a recession now? Recession is a groundbreaking new analysis of economic contractions in the UK and USA over the last four centuries. Combining the historian’s extensive primary source material and the economist’s arsenal of statistical analysis, this book rewrites what we know about recessions.Goodspeed argues that contrary to popular perception, recessions are not the inevitable bust that follows an unsustainable boom, and they do not operate like wildfires that clear out economic deadwood. Recessions are caused by adverse shocks like war and energy price spikes, and far from unleashing gales of creative destruction, post-recession economic growth typically resumes the same trend as before—all pain, no gain.While recessions have become less frequent over time, decisions made by businesses and governments can prolong recessions, and Goodspeed offers guidance to avoid making recessions worse. Issuing an important corrective to economic thinking, Recession is essential reading for high-level policymakers and armchair economists alike.Date: 12 March 2026Time: 6.30pm-8pmLocation: Hong Kong Theatre, London School of EconomicsAbout the speaker:Tyler Goodspeed is chief economist of ExxonMobil.
