Question
For the economy to grow, spending must increase year on year. Last year there was no consumer spending.
spending increase year on year = A
economy to grow = B
1. Am I correct in stating that A leads to B (A --> B) ? i.e spending increase year on year --> economy grows
or in CR am I to write it as economy grows --> spending must have increased year on year
Basically how I write the above affect the way I negate, ie not B --> not A.
Please advise how the relationship should be established in CR?

Yes. You are correct
A -> B
What do you mean by negate?
Inverse: ~A -> ~B
Converse B -> A
Contrapositive: ~B -> ~A
All of these statements are equivalent.

Thank you for your response.
How can converse be true?
A -> B does not mean B -> A
By negation I meant contrapositive. I understand A -> B , then Contrapositive: ~B -> ~A is true.
