Long, but excellent and informative article about the Great Depression. Though I say it's long, it is shorter than the many important books written on the subject, so don't be intimidated!
Glenn Beck has been saying this for a while, and I agree with him, and that is that we need to be truly educated in order to make wise and prudent decisions in our daily and civic lives. After reading the above article, one will want to ask, "But why do we keep electing officials who do so much harm?" And I believe the answer lies in the fact that most of us simply don't know our history, or we've learned it from biased sources, such as textbooks written by those very people who benefit from our not knowing the whole story.
So, if you read this article and like it, pass it on!
