    Ummmm.

    The country is not booming just because production is up.

    The literal definition of a recession is that production is down. I dunno where you’re going with this, but maybe you can go choose a better word for whatever the heck you’re trying to describe. Economists have words for a reason, and the chief reason among them is that production of goods is an important thing to track.

      No it’s okay. Really. We just won’t make a word for a country with a “booming” economy that exploits it’s workers so hard they have trouble buying food. That way we can just pretend it’s not happening! Yay!
