  1. and of course, missing the big irony that the article bemoaning the replacement of human workers by machines was printed by printing presses rather than hand-copied by scriveners

  2. All the comments to the article at the Modern Mechanix Blog and no mention of the actual cause of the The Depression.

    Overvalued stocks being bought on credit?

    Value of the stocks disconnected from the worth of the companies?

    I'm not seeing a mention of oversupply unless that also means 'people cutting back on purchases'.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
