Highly unlikely. To see a double-dip recession would require governments to stop propping up the bad debt. That would be far too politically unpopular to do, so I don't see that scenario playing out at all.

However, I do think we are going to see major currency inflation in the near-to-mid future, which will be a purely political and not economic move.
