I am reading a history of the depression called The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes that is very interesting. Some parrallels to today in terms of the collapse in confidence in the banking system and the various responses by industry and the government. More to read to come to any conclusions but it seems clear that what didn't work was trade tariffs, allowing banks to fail and government public works programs.
