It’s very odd how little Harding and Coolidge’s corruption immediately leading up the the Great Depression is almost never discussed at all.
It was, then as now, a series of bad choices in terms of reducing regulation and anti-worker decisions. We are in danger of echoing those times.
Hoover certainly did his part to make the situation worse though, and quickly.
