At any rate, I find it hard to take either of them seriously because I never see any evidence that they understand the sum total of the Great Depression, how it was a long, slow evolution, complete with fits and starts. They pull out isolated events, isolated years and assume causalities here and there that may not necessarily be there.

19% after ten years! You do have an ability to see the real picture - and put it in clear language we can all understand. I still think we can learn from this history and that is that there are cycles the economy goes through that we don't have a lot of control over. We might not be able to make things much better - but we can sure screw it up for future options. Doesn't mean we should do nothing - again looking at history take from Roosevelt what worked for the unemployed. The CCC and all they accomplished is where I think we should be looking.
