The article is an opinion piece. History is on my side. The economy is irrelevant (in the sense that it always ebbs and flows, and it'll recover again).

This is the same, except on a smaller scale, as when people predict the economy is going to collapse, with the 'this time it's different' mantra. No it's not.

The bottom line, and I think that's why this sort of viewpoint is so common, is that it is far easier to see what's wrong. It's easy to see the warts, the cracks in the wall.

It is much harder to see, and imagine, growth and change and new ideas.

Yet they always emerge.
