The Great Depression was an economic downturn that affected not just North America, but the entire world. Many of us “lived through” what has been labeled as the “Great Recession” of 2008. How do you see
the two events differently? Are there differences between them? What contributions triggered these events? After the Great Depression, the American economy experienced economic growth, do you see that
happening now? Do you think that the underlying desires or values for the people then and now are different? Please feel free to share a little of your personal experience here, but don’t feel that you have to.
