And yet the underlying cause of the busts has varied.

People bring up the "due for a bust" observation and they may be right. But I have to ask, "What is going to be the economic trigger this time?"

Nine out of those eleven recessions were triggered by the Fed raising interest rates for the purpose of controlling inflation.
