I don't have the economics background to comment intelligently. However, my gut hunch, based on complexity science, is that we would spiral much faster than in the past, implode, and start to rebuild/recover faster due to the modern speed of communications, and fragmentation of the US into regional economic entities.

The west coast would probably be able to bounce back soonest. I think Gavin Newsom is probably gaming this out now.
