112 - The Great Depression and FDR

This episode, we’re going to talk about the great depression.  

Last episode, we talked about the stock market crash of 1929, and mentioned that it was one of the causes of the Great Depression.  

The Great Depression left a very strong mark on the people who lived through it.  We’re getting to the point in history where a lot of us know people who have lived through the events that we’re talking about.  My grandparents, for example, lived through the Great Depression.  My parents were born during it.  If you know someone who lived through it, they will have very vivid memories of how hard things were for most people during that time.  It shaped people’s impressions of life, government, their country, and what mattered in life more than just about any other event of their lives.
