Amity Shlaes has a book, “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression” the key part of which, is the subend “A New History.” The gist of this new, but very popular herstory, is that the Depression ended because of World War II, aka, “the big one.” So the next time you see her, or if you hear someone repeat this reversioning of the story, ask them:

Isn’t it great that World War Two came along to save us. Otherwise, ya know, we would still be in the great depression. Oh calamity!
