A History of Market Violence

Chris B, outstanding comment.

I have been thinking about the differences between 1928-1931 and 2006-09. You have been very thorough in suggesting some of the differences. This could be worth a lot more discussion.

For example, had Roosevelt been elected two years earlier and the New Deal was started in 1931 instead of 1933, would the depression have been shortened or made worse? I don't know the answer, but I'd sure like to hear a discussion from more knowledgable people. (Or even from more opinionated people.)

Again, Chris, thanks for opening a subject I have been wondering about. Your comment definitely adds to the value of this good article.
