Letters to the economist

SIR – Lexington stated that Mr Obama faces "a mother-in-law of a recession".
This is not a wholly accurate description. Unlike mother-in-laws, recessions
rarely arrive unexpectedly on one's doorstep. Nor do they exhibit
behavioural patterns that defy normal rational explanation. And although
both share a capacity to inflict misery and despair on the innocent, the
scars from a recession will eventually heal.
