Citation: Cohen, Patricia. “Economy Grew at 1.9% Rate in Quarter, Hit by Trade Fight and Global Weakness.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 30 Oct. 2019, www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/business/economy/us-gdp-growth.html.

SUMMARY: In the New York Times article it states that the growth of the American economy keeps on decreasing and decreasing. Many businesses and consumers because of this have been on a tug of war and leads to many not wanting to invest their money anymore. The amount of investment went down by 3 percent. In the article it states that the year began with a surge and through out time the pace of the growth kept slowing down into the summer. In total there was a 1.9 percent growth in the economy.

REACTION: There were various parts of the article that stuck out to me but I was drawn in by the moments of decrease in the economy as I always am. When i hear or see situations like this, what always pops in my head is what led to this happening and can be fixed. I say this because I bet there are many people that because of situations like this are suffering or going to through a lot to be stable. Luckily there was a growth in the economy in this case.

RELATION TO CLASS: This article specifically relates to the topic of economic growth. In an economy class there is always going to talks about how the economy decreases but then grows which is what the article in this case is talking about. Since there are many ups and downs in the economy it tends to affect other things like prices for consumers which is something else that is talked about in class.
