Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secular stagnation refers to a condition of negligible or no economic growth in a market-based economy. When considering the causes, it's related to factors that directly impact the economy's ability to grow, such as slowing population growth (A) which reduces labor force growth, modern inflation technology firms using much less capital than older manufacturing firms (B) which affects investment dynamics, and falling costs of capital equipment (D) which can lead to reduced investment in physical assets. Economic growth shifting to countries other than Canada (C) does not inherently cause secular stagnation; it's more about the internal factors of an economy that lead to stagnation, rather than the geographic distribution of growth.
