This photo stream from a journalist at Reuters illustrates in a striking way the damage that a persistent depression can have on the physical capital of a modern economy. Economists have a term for this - hysteresis - and a quick flick through this montage of images of abandoned factories reveals much about the long term scarring effects of an economy whose trend growth rate has collapsed.
