The difference between then and now is that interest rates are blasting through the roof along with inflation. The underlying question that CEO's need to think through is whether this is a long-term shift in the funding environment, or a short-term blip. If the latter, actually taking the foot off the gas instead of saying that you will could lead to missed growth relative to competitors.
Now, in the event that its a long-term shift - there will certainly be firms who run into the wall from not taking their foot off the gas.
