Rothbard’s America’s Great Depression, Chapter 11, part 2

Most of this part of the chapter is devoted to the efforts and agitation to reflate prices up to their pre-depression levels.

Fortunately, quite a few of these efforts fizzled out, but enough made it into official policy that the economy suffered another blow at the end of the year, after a small uptick.

For my show notes, go here.

Rothbard’s citation for the NYT article is quite fuzzy. Is this it? NYT says it’s the wrong page, and I can’t actually access the text.
