Abstract: Abstract As Ben Bernanke (Chair of the US Federal Reserve System in 2012) commented: To understand the great depression is the Holy Grail of macroeconomics. Not only did the Depression give birth to macroeconomics as a distinct field of study, but also—to an extent that is not always fully appreciated—the experience of the 1930s continues to influence macroeconomists’ beliefs, policy recommendations, and research agendas.” (Bernanke 1995)
