I have a question for economists on GFY. Is it possible (within reason) for us to ever face a 1930 style depression ever again where people wait in lines for bread etc. within the next 100 years or so? Or is that basically a thing of the past that is virtually impossible to recur? The economy is much more complex today compared to 1930, globalized, different trade policies, and many more checks and balances in place, different technology infrastructure and so on. Just curious about more expert insight into it.
