Not Guilty? Agriculture in the 1920s and the Great Depression
挑战了20世纪20年代农业困境导致大萧条的传统观点，认为世界农业并未遭受生产过剩和贸易条件恶化，美国农民的债务虽危及农村银行，但与1930年银行恐慌及大萧条的关系并不紧密。
Agricultural distress in the 1920s is routinely quoted among the causes of the Great Depression. This article challenges the conventional wisdom. World agriculture was not plagued by overproduction and falling terms of trade. The indebtedness of American farmers, a legacy of the boom years 1918–1921, did jeopardize the rural banks, but the relation between their crises, the banking panic of 1930, and the Great Depression is tenuous at best.
