Think America’s current economic crisis is unique to our current point in history? Think again! America has been here before., and government response to the stock market crash of 1929 paved the way for America’s long march towards an unstable banking system, suppression of the global economy to prop up the dollar, and embrace of socialism. The story starts with the onset of the Industrial Revolution, which revolutionized not only manufacturing, but also banking and investing.
