Hope this is sarcasm. No one really wins from a recession. Sure you may make some money if you go short at the right time, but it's still better to have moderate wealth in a rich world than be among the richest in a poor one.
Periodic corrections/recessions are a necessary and healthy part of capitalism. Unfortunately, stock markets (and other asset classes) have been vigorously propped up by central banks in recent years (especially so after 2008).
Market corrections (and recessions) separate the good from the bad. Right now, there are many banks/companies which should not be in business at all. And they lock up resources which could be used elsewhere, and more efficiently.
