Thanks for checking out my site, Carol. Yeah, there are some great sources out there for the “real story” on the Great Depression.

Amity Shlaes – The Forgotten Man, it’s a long book but well worth it. She also did a nice interview on Uncommon Knowledge, you can view that here http://www.hoover.org/multimedia/uk/28240384.html

For something more immediate, I just listened to a pod cast with Tom Rustici (http://www.tomrustici.com/) he did on econ talk. Here’s the URL and while it takes a little while to get into it solidly, the content is fantastic. It’s based on his new book Lessons from the Great Depression. http://www.econlib.org/library/EconTalk.xml

Good luck on your book report!

I'm doing a book report on the cause of the great depression and your site is of great help, but I am looking for even more detailed info. I found this article cause of the great depression but I'm not sure I believe the 'official' story... I'm looking for the REAL cause of the great depression, if you have any ideas of some other additional sources for info please send them to me.thank you
