Yep

Correct.

That's why they are called corrections. Recessions or busts stem from the lower interest rates and credit expansion in the artificial boom that preceded the bust.

Corrections slough off weak zombie businesses that have misallocated their capital and reset the market.

That is, if the State doesn't swoop in with tax victim bailouts, encouraging moral hazard as a result.
