And so with the economy in such a sad state of affairs, logic would seem to dictate that this is the worst possible time to start a business. Well, not so fast. History has shown time and again that severe downturns are actually the best time to start up a business. Here are some arguments to support this seemingly contrarian, yet logical position ...
