For those interested in a topic that seems more relevant today than 5 years ago, I've put a copy of my long article on the origins of the Great Depression of the 1930s on my web page, in HTML format. The address is: http://clawww.lmu.edu/Faculty/JDevine/subpages/depr/DEPR.html Comments and questions are welcome. Doug, could you please forward this to LBO-TALK? Thanks ahead of time.
