> I’m impressed by your post’s combination of cynicism

I'm impressed by your naivety. Where's the cynicism? I've worked on wall street/finance and I've read finance publications for decades. It's not cynicism, it's experience.

> conspiracy-theory-type reasoning

What's the conspiracy?

> compounded by the agency fallacy.

I'd advise you to give Logic 101 another try. Also look up ad hominem while at it.

According to your first comment, the "big players" are conspiring to cause recessions when they see fit.

A more charitable reading would have recessions as inevitable (which, in fact, they are) with only the timing of them controlled by "big players".
