Why the so-called ‘economists’ were wrong: financial versus economic analysis
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The 1930s depression was not caused by the 1929 stock market crash, but by the budget-cutting austerity policies of the Hoover administration, depressing production, following the crash.

LaRouche, Jr. summarizes the most recent developments, and how they came about, and then examines the way in which financial markets and physical economy interact.
