It isn't entirely clear to me what you're trying to say. With respect to Friedman and the Great Depression, he drew the conclusion that the Fed a) failed to act as a lender of last resort (i.e. they could have adjusted the price of gold -- which they never tried), but more importantly b) the crisis would have never occurred, and the economy as a whole would have been better off if the Fed were never created in the first place [1]. [1] http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/the-great-depression-a... Anyway, this is all taking a left turn here. It has been fun, but there are probably better forums than HN for discussing macro-econ. Maybe I'll see you in one of the subreddits, and we can debate it in more depth there. |
