Imagine that you are in the USA at the morning of January 1st, 1984....the new year begins with 8.5% unemployment, stagnated GDP and a malaise feeling in the country.....America never recovered from the Early 1980s Recession and Reagan's reelection is far from certain.
What would be the developments of this alternate 1984 USA? Mondale president? A weak second mandate for Reagan or recovery was just around the corner?
