Pretty sure we had a MUCH bigger one in 1929….
And the crash from boom (1921 – 1929) to global depression (1929 – 1946) was created by the Federal Reserve (1913 – present)
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
If you’re referring to the cause of the Great Depression, that lied almost entirely upon Herbert Hoover, which was then dealt with long term by FDR, who, might I remind you, remains one of our greatest presidents in history.
(1) Herbert Hoover's big government programs rendered worse, certainly, but did not CAUSE the Great Depression
(2) FDR is the worst president in the history of our country, tied perhaps with Lincoln, LBJ, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden – it hard to pick just one "worst president" when so many shredded the constitution to pieces

Hoover did make the Depression all but cemented in history, to say that he “caused it” isn’t far from the truth of the matter, since his attempts to stop it created that big of a crash kn the first place.
FDR is consistently ranked among historians as one of the top 3, while ranking presidents like trump or Buchanan at near the bottom. These rankings have little variation across every single one of the interview groups, and overall, FDR showed amazing public communication, he never fell below 50% approval rates on average, he won the largest margin of the electoral college in history, while also managing to win 4 elections in a row. There’s no contest, the man wins from surface level learning, and it gets better with a light amount of nuance the further in you go.

Blaming the entire Great Depression on the Federal Reserve ignores how global trade policies and government intervention played a massive role—just look at the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930. That single piece of legislation hiked tariffs on thousands of imports, triggering a worldwide trade war that crushed economies far beyond the Fed’s influence. If you believe centralized power causes economic disasters, doesn’t protectionist government policy fit that bill even better?
