Another Recession on the Horizon? History Says It’s Possible

Writer's picture: James S. FalconeJames S. Falcone

Feeling optimistic when markets are up is easy, and the economy appears resilient. But savvy investors know that booms don’t last forever. The real question is: Are we prepared for what comes next?


A quick look at history gives us some important clues. The 1960s and 1970s were marked by rising inflation, Federal Reserve rate hikes, and repeated recessions. There were four recessions in just 20 years, each triggered by the Fed trying to control inflation.


Fast forward to today:

  • The Fed has already raised rates aggressively to fight inflation.

  • Markets are strong, but borrowing costs remain high for businesses and consumers.

  • Many leading economic indicators are flashing warning signs.


Could we be on the same path? If so, how can investors prepare? History suggests that diversification, tactical adjustments, and income-generating assets can help protect wealth.

We explore these trends—and the investment strategies that worked then and now—in our latest blog:
