Actually it is the stock markets and banking systems that go into recession. By far the largest component is household consumption. And it was the collapse in household consumption due to very slow wage increases, along with the closely related decline in the demand for new housing construction, that was the proximate cause of the Great Recession (207-2008).

What is the rationale for government involvement in the market economy?

Prior to government involvement in the free market recessions occurred as they always will in cycles. What goes up must come down type of thing. These recessions were pretty short lived and lasted a year or so and corrected. But around the turn of the 20th century politicians began to place the blame for these recessions on the political party in power. By doing so when the economy improved while they were in power they could take credit for it. That is when the problems really began. The free maket will correct itself and it will do it fairly quickly but when the politicians began to try to "make" it correct itself by dabbling with the monetary system (such as creating the fed) it started taking longer and longer for the market to fix itself. Still today, the people want and expect their government to save them from these recessions and there is political power to be gained from it so politicians rationalize that they have better ideas than the people who actually work in the money market and business and continue to try and "fix" the system.
