Also available to purchase for your Kindle or iPad/iPhone.

Students today are often given a skewed account of the Great Depression of 1929-1941 that condemns free-market capitalism as the cause of, and promotes government intervention as the solution to, the economic hardships of the era. In this essay based on a popular lecture, Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) President Lawrence W. Reed debunks this conventional view and traces the central role that poor government policy played in fostering this legendary catastrophe.

I’ve given away numerous copies I had a personal copy with notes from Larry Reeds lecturers….Donna Hearnes conferences. I may have given that copy away inadvertently. Larry Reed was at Lindenwood, off campus to lecture on how important character, the economy, is to society. I can’t find my notes. Ask him to send me key points to that lecturer he gave a couple of years ago
