I appreciate our community opinions, but I'm really asking those who have specific knowledge here - what do you know about what economists say ended the Great Depression?

Please include the name of the economist and the year or title of the publication, if you've got it available.

I just know some of you will tell me to look it up. Thanks for nothing.

However, for those of you who have taken the time to learn this and are willing to share your references, you have my gratitude.

(No, I'm not writing an essay for school. It's just something I've wondered about and I would like help picking what to read.)

I would like to help you with the names, but it has been a long time since I had Economics in College. And then only as a required elective.
However, I do remember this much about it:

There are or were two schools of thought among the Economist.

One school of thought was that FDR's programs such as CCC and WPA Social Security, Federal Reverse Bank. etc ended the Depression by putting Americans back to work there by ending the depression.

The other main school of thought was that the Depression did not end until the Advent of WW II. Their argument was that even though FDR's works programs did put America back to work it was not sustainable because none of the Works programs included the industrial base and the factories for the most part were still not producing.
It took WW II to get the factories back to producing which was actually what put Americans back to sustainable work.
And they described sustainable work as work producing goods to sell.
They also said that Europe, and Asia mostly being in ruins and their factories being destroyed is what kept America prosperous because America's factories were the only ones which had not been affected by the war. What they meant by that was our factories were intact since they had not been subject to bombings.etc.
Hope that helps a little. Sorry can't remember any names.

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.

Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.

Depression Free Method?
