The True Cause of Recessions: OIL. I was asked to speak about the economic impact of our oil dependency and so I began researching this topic to see if I could draw some insightful conclusions. All of the recessions listed above were caused by oil except the early 2000 recession that was caused by September 11th, 2001.
