The Great Depression: What Went Wrong?

In this episode, we explore the causes and consequences of the Great Depression, one of the most devastating economic crises in modern history. We'll examine the policy decisions, market forces, and social factors that led to the stock market crash of 1929 and the prolonged economic downturn that followed. We'll hear from economists and historians who predicted the crash, as well as those who were caught off guard, to understand how the events unfolded and what lessons we can apply to prevent similar disasters in the future.
