The Great Depression of the 2020s: History Does Repeat

By: Don Braby

Narrated by: Donovan Wolfington

Our country’s history unequivocally shows that after every significant economic expansion, a meaningful correction and a total war follow. In the Roaring Twenties, an enormous stock market rise and economic boom gave way to the Great Depression. The middle of the 19th century also saw an expansion followed by a depression. And if we examine our history, dating back to our independence, a cycle repeats approximately every 80 years: The result is an economic crisis and total war that lasts several years.

The first such crisis was the American Revolutionary War, which was from 1775 to 1783. The second was the Civil War, 1861-1865. The third was the Great Depression, which began in 1929, followed by World War II, ending in 1945. Are we on the verge of entering the fourth era of extreme hardship? Does history repeat itself? Discover from this book what you can do to prepare for the next Great Depression.
