Why Our Economy Was Not Resilient in 2008

Or in the recent past as the Financial Secretary would have us believe. Here are a few pointers:

1. Growth in USD was about -5% in that year.
2. The Misery Index was close to a 10-year high -- average inflation was 70% higher than under Federation 2.
3. We missed the rebound in the World Economy in 2010 -- resilience means rebounding by the way.
