旁白: 本集探讨了大萧条的成因及其对未来经济政策的影响,介绍了凯恩斯主义、货币主义和奥地利学派三种主要理论。凯恩斯主义认为政府干预可以增加需求,实现充分就业,但胡佛和罗斯福政府的实践证明其失败,反而加剧了萧条。货币主义则认为货币供应量下降是主因,而奥地利学派认为宽松货币政策制造了泡沫。大萧条的争论也延伸到2008年金融危机,左派认为是银行家贪婪导致,右派则认为是政府政策失误。最后,通过对比1907年和1920年的经济危机,说明了自由市场机制的重要性。 Harold Cole和Lee Ohanian: 罗斯福新政人为抬高物价和工资,阻碍了市场的自我调节,延长了经济萧条。 Milton Friedman和Anna Schwartz: 货币供应量下降是导致大萧条的主要原因,银行收回贷款导致经济流动性下降,人们囤积现金加剧了经济收缩。 Murray Rothbard: 奥地利学派认为,大萧条的根本原因是公众对金融体系的信心丧失,单纯增加货币供应无法解决问题。 Phil Graham和Mike Solon: 1980年以来的银行法案中没有一项安全和稳健措施被废除,这反映了政府监管的不足。 Robert P. Murphy: 自由市场是避免大萧条的最佳方案,政府干预和监管并不能有效解决经济危机。 胡佛: 胡佛政府通过增加政府支出和补贴农业试图应对大萧条,但这些措施未能奏效,反而加剧了经济危机。 罗斯福: 罗斯福新政延续了凯恩斯主义的政策,但同样未能有效解决大萧条,反而延长了经济萧条的持续时间。 奥巴马: 奥巴马政府在2008年金融危机后采取了增加支出、税收和监管的措施,导致了现代美国历史上最缓慢的经济复苏。 J.P. Morgan和John Rockefeller: 1907年金融危机中,J.P.摩根和洛克菲勒等银行家通过收购不良资产和注入资金,迅速稳定了金融市场,避免了大规模经济衰退。
