Because from the time the USA became a capitalist-industrialist nation until about 1930 or so we had a depression on the average about once a decade at which point we decided some regulation was in order and the up-til-then normal depression per decade smoothed out a lot. We repealed all the 1930's era regulations starting around 1980 or so and now we are back to your ...

If you, and/or Lizzie, or anyone else, should care to write a list of the aspects or angles of the 1930s that have not, in your opinion, been adequately covered by the books and articles you have seen, then I would be happy to do the following things for you: a.)
