T he Great Depression ranks as one of American historys most scrutinized events. Only the Civil War and World War II hold more historical interest than this 1930s catastrophe. Ninety years later, its story has all the elements of a classic thriller. For more than a decade, the tale of Americas infamous economic panic provided a diverse collection of hardworking underdogs, flamboyant protagonists, and loathed antagonists. The plot contains several dramatic twists, while the tremendous recovery led to an extraordinary feel-good ending. Yet, two controversial mysteries remain unresolved: What caused the Great Depression? Did World War II spending drive the recovery?
Mainstream scholarship suggests that academia has a lock on those answers: a cataclysmic failure of capitalism caused the Great Depression; the New Deal offered some relief; and finally, massive World War II military spending rejuvenated the still-sluggish economy.
Yet, the debate trudges on and at times intensifies as disenfranchised academics and enthusiasts challenge the establishments view of the panic years.
One indisputable Great Depression truth is the scale of the economic damage endured by Americans during the 1930s and into the 1940s. The unemployment rate between 1931 and 1940 peaked at 25% and never dropped much below 15%. In the first few years, a third of Americas banks closed. When the economy struck bottom, many of the nations business sectors revenues dropped by 50%. Then came the war. Nearly 400,000 Americans died in combat during World War II, with total casualties exceeding one million. Back home, civilians lived with widespread shortages and harsh rationing. Even the post-war recovery turned into a multi-year struggle.
