Thomas, Dr. Richebacher quotes from a book " Major Recessions" by British economist Christopher Dow ,formerly assistant secretary general of the OECD and executive director of the Bank of England. " The first stage of the US recession ( in 1930) seems inexplicable except as a swing in consumer and business ... The rapid expansion was bound to be checked at some time. There followed in 1930 a big fall in consumption, a very big fall in fixed investment, and a big fall in stocks. These abrupt falls in demand fully fit the hypothesis that there was a large downward shock to expectations of a sort that is likely to follow an excessive boom; they are indeed difficult to explain by any other hypothesis."
