Pages 19 to 26 are what you want to read to sum it up. Harding and Mellon did good. But it can never be done today, too many entitlements.

interesting thing about the 20's was that 4 years of that decade was spent in recession in the US. Nowadays we tend to think of the 20's as a very prosperous time with solid economic development until black Monday autumn 1929...

We've never heard of it because it was a minor issue solved in a few years during which people actually believed in free-market capitalism.

TPTB wouldn't like to have that taught in the public school system, would they? An economy that revolved around the individual and not the state? How horrible and impractical!
