The key thing is that - lot of information about 1929 is fudged today. You will find all sorts of contradictory information in literature. Even the article quoted by Shades is so contradictory within itself!! It says, big business benefitted - and also says those big businesses had to lay off etc. Murray Rothbard is a good one to read...

Yet is is an academic article - hehe.

I do like Rothbard and so does the guy from the derivatives blog I quote from - we have to maintain our history to as high standards as possible - revisionist history creeps into so many textbooks and we must guard against it. However many people can see the same event and interepret completely differently and not have evil intentions.

The Hoover Dam was one of Herbert Hoover's pet projects, even long before he became President, dating back to the early 1920s.

He championed this project while as Secretary of Commerce under President Warren Harding and later in the same position for President Cal Coolidge.
