Platt,
You're right... I stand accused. I am guilty of making a vast
generalization and that is a dangerous thing. I understand that a decade
long phenomenon like the Depression has more than one cause. Thanks for the
site anyway. It's been a while since I took econ and I'll have you know that
my econ prof was not some 'leftist wingnut' by any stretch of the
imagination; especially because I don't attend a 'left wing' university.
(Ranked #1 comprehensive university in canada for the 14th time in 15
years!)...
Cheers!
Rebecca
The Depression came about because markets were too free? Sorry. Not the
whole story. The consensus among economists today is that markets were
wrongly interfered with by the heaving hand of government, resulting in
the debacle that lasted until WW II, despite the socialist-leaning New
Deal. For a more fair and balanced view of the causes of the Depression
than taught at left-wing universities, try the following:

I'm sure you've learned in college that it's wise to look at an issue from
more than one side, and to be especially critical of what everybody says
is true, whether it be the causes of the Depression, rioting in France, or
global warming.
