Dr Gloom 21389 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The great depression of the 1930s led to protectionism, the rise of nationalist government, fascism and ultimately world war. We are now arguably on the brink of a second GD. Could the economic, social and political consequences be as bad this time round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
