A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job.

depression is when conventional monetary policy fails to reignite the economy

In other words, when they do the "usual" thing - print, cut rates, try to inflate - only to discover that the bull is out of bubbles. That's an interesting way of looking at it.
