This is a heavily Keynesian take on the Great Depression. Someone should present the Austrian take on the event. Government caused it, prolounged it, and did little to actually improve things. Read Murray Rothbard's "The Great Depression." Gobstomper 23:25, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
==Work by Rangerdude==NFTL "Reserve and the Money Supply" will need NPOVing and additional work. I lack the energy to do it myself, bogged down by too many other problems. 172 22:47, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The whole article does need work doesn't it. I was hoping it could be dealt with by a few edits. But it does need a more thorough redrafting to get the material to work together. Stirling Newberry 23:25, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
You're quite right. One of the particular recent changes that bothers me is the insertion of "one theory holds" toward the beginning of each subsection on the origins, which can give someone the impression that these explanations are mutually exclusive.

I'm knee deep in the Social Security (United States) morrass, which is about to get much uglier. Stirling Newberry 01:41, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
This page has some very good information in the "causes of the depression" part (they are consistent with scholarly opinions), but it has very little information on life during the depression and public policy during the depression (of either the U.S. or other countries) though we might be able to use some of the information from Herbert Hoover. As I learn about this era in history, i'll try to contribute to it some. Bonus Onus 22:32, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Bonus Onus, this article needs more on the life during the Depression as well as the Depression's meaning on today's world economy. Also, we need to keep an eye out on it since someone was defacing the article. I fixed it, but the person kept changing it as I fixed it. It seems to have stopped now, but never hurts to check it out every once in a while. Tranka
Vandalism
So far no one has seemed to noticed that a vandal has removed a huge chunck of this article. [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=202.6.138.33) This article really needs a rewrite. 172 20:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
