re: 1929 scenario ? Not only that, a lot of people only seem to know about the 1929 stock market crash - they are missing a fair amount of history. First there was the real guilded age, the 1890s, then the extremely prosperous 1900s all the way through to the roaring 20s - fueled by new inventions etc. - well others here are better equipped to comment on what caused the boom - anyway prosperity lasted for 40 years!! We have had the 80s and 90s only, and the first part of the 80s was the worst recession in 40 years so really the recent prosperity began in 1985 or so.
