You didn't mention the recession after the Vietnam war. No jobs, but you couldl get 12% interest on your bank savings.

That might be due to coming off the Gold Standard in 1971.
Or it might be the result of killing a few million SE Asians with more tonnage than was dropped during WWII and giving billions to a company called Brown & Root that is now Halliburton.
War is a racket.
