I'm reading a book, "The Forgotten Man." It is history of the Great Depression. In the Introduction it mentions:
The standard history of the Great Depression is one we know. The 1920s were a period of false growth and low morals. There was a certain godlessness---the Great Gatsby image---to the decade. The crash was the honest acknowledgment of the breakdown of capitalism---and the cause of the Depression. A dangerous inflation caused by speculating margin traders brought down the nation. There was a sense of a return to a sane, moral country with the crash. A sense that the economy of 1930 and 1931 could not revive without extensive intervention by Washington.
Haven't we heard this scenario before?
