(33) ________in financial markets by central banks, government aid to workers and failing firms, and the

expansion of budget deficits to near-wartime levels.

The crash was synchronized. As a recovery takes place, however, huge gaps between the performance of

according to forecasts by the OECD, America's economy will be the same size as it was in 2019 but China's will be

fate it may share with Japan, which is suffering a demographic squeeze. The (35) ________ of growth rates across

50 economies was at its widest for at least 40 years.

the suburbs. Until they do, they could face long spells of unemployment. In America permanent job losses are (36)

are all but impossible while two warring tribes define compromise as weakness. Covid-19 is imposing a new

economic reality. Every country will be called on to adapt, but America faces a daunting task. If it is to lead the
