Letter: Fear of recession
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Hamish McRae discusses (column, 14 January) the possibility of a recession. What precautions would he suggest for individuals to take, to minimise harmful effects? If those actions were widely applied, would the overall result be to increase the chance of an early deep recession, in the same way that actions in anticipation of a devaluation make it more likely that a large devaluation will soon occur?
