>The economy is never "stable". It is constantly in a cycle of ups and downs, over-investment and under-investment, easy money and tight money...

That's pedantic and beside the point. The question is whether the economy experiences periods of relative stability. The answer is yes.



What's the difference between stability and growth? If the economy isn't growing, people consider it "stagnant". Shrinking is "a recession".
