You’re welcome, Steve… the 1930s and 40s hold many lessons for us, as you well know. The 1937/38 “recession within a depression” strikes me as one our politicians ought to be paying a lot of attention to these days.

This is what frightens me about the US and the EU these days. There are many who fall prey to confirmation bias and simply advocate for what is little more than a short-term profit at the cost of long-term stability national benefit.

Thanks for your reminder of how well this played out back in 1940.
