The subject of this thread came up in another one, where it doesn't really belong. This is my attempt to open the discussion in where it belongs.
So, what were the causes of the Great Depression? Were they similar to the recession we are (or are not, according to your perspective) coming out of currently? what ended it? Was the New Deal a positive or negative? Was it the war that really ended it? If so, does a healthy economy depend on being at war? Is war peace, as Orwell said?
Anyone want to go back to the early 1930s?
