…an excellent video from Tom Woods, the author of Meltdown, explaining the depression of 1920 and how the federal government's hands off approach led to a quick rebound. A must watch, with some explanation of the Austrian school of economics.
I agree with Joe, a great presentation by a very good speaker – well worth the time to watch. I will note, however, that I do not necessarily agree with the Misses Institute that a return to "hard money" (the gold standard) is necessary or appropriate.
