In the midst of the 1958 “Eisenhower Recession”, the US government released a video clip called “How To Start a Recession”. It was a semi-cartoon clip, concerning a young college student that basically wreck’s his Dad’s business (hot dog stand)-by convincing him that there was a recession on (and he should reduce his business activity).  
I cannot find the clip on YouTube-anyone seen it ?
