Was the Great Depression triggered by the 1929 stock market crash, or by deeper flaws in unchecked capitalism?

When people hear “The Great Depression,” most think of 1929’s market crash. 

But in this eye-opening conversation, economist Dr. Robert P. Murphy takes us further back, to the real roots of America’s central banking system and how its evolution may have done more harm than good.

From 19th-century boom-bust cycles and railroad speculation to the secret meeting at Jekyll Island that led to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Dr. Murphy brings clarity to a history often clouded by politics, panic, and policy spin. He explains why the Fed was created, how it was originally intended to function, and what it’s become today.
