There was no 2nd Great Depression. Many thought the Great Recession would be a great depression but that was not the case. In reality, the economy was not even close to another great depression. The great depression included such things as wage fixing and pricing fixing by the government, excess public debt from WW1, Smoot-Hawley act, etc. The Great Recession was just a financial breakdown, which is bad, but not a GD.
