Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key phases of the business cycle: expansion, peak, contraction (or recession), trough, and recovery.
Identify that the 'peak' is the point where the economy reaches its highest level before starting to decline.
Recognize that the period when the economy begins to shrink after the peak is called the 'recession' phase.
Note that 'recovery' refers to the phase after the economy has bottomed out and starts growing again.
Distinguish 'depression' as a prolonged and severe recession, not just the initial shrinking period.
