Gotcha. I know what the global financial crisis is (and I’ve watched all of the newsroom), but there’s too many random acronyms being thrown around on Reddit to keep track of everything.

I’ve written papers on this and done a ton of research and have never seen the acronym GFC so don’t worry, you’re not alone lol

Maybe it’s a regional thing. Here in Australia it is usually referred to as the GFC. Even official government reports and news headlines here call it “The GFC”

Although Aussies also talk a lot about the gfc because we were one of the few nations to avoid recession during the 07-09 period.
