I disagree on all points here.

Not only did the US central bank create the conditions for the stock market crash of 1929, but the interventionist policies of FDR prolonged the economic hardship. Interventionism put the "great" in the "great depression". Not only did they create the bust, but they magnified the blast radius.

Hmm. all the same source, as if there is an agenda...


And that source is Ron Paul's think tank


Misattributing a source is not the same as engaging in a discussion. It isn't a substantive reply or even tangentially related to the topic.

Furthermore, I have a bridge to sell you if you believe that central bank apologists do not have an "agenda".

Evaluating the argument on the merits solves all of this.
