The press is full of articles today like "UK now officially in recession"

Instead of all this doom & gloom talk about entering a major recession – what I'd be interested to hear more about is this - if this recession is going to be as bad as the early 90s one, then what lessons did we learn from the last recession (or others) - especially pointers to how the economy recovered and the opportunities that the recovery created?

I'm no expert, but this one looks very different to the early 90's. I'm not sure we've seen anything quite this global before, ever - quite where we go from here is a very good question.
