leave it to the illustrious WSJ (Murdoch owned?) to try to turn the story around from Murdoch to politicians! the guardian did it! the guardian did it! not me!

better not pat yourself on the back yet- it didnt go poof and i dont think ,judging from what ive just seen in another category, they care for anyone around serious arguments.
Hoover's stance on the economy was based largely on voluntarism. From before his entry to the presidency, he was a proponent of the concept that public-private cooperation was the way to achieve high long-term growth. Hoover feared that too much intervention or coercion by the government would destroy individuality and self-reliance, which he considered to be important American values. Both his ideals and the economy were put to the test with the onset of the Great Depression. At the outset of the Depression, Hoover claims in his memoirs that he rejected Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's suggested "leave-it-alone" approach, and called many business leaders to Washington to urge them not to lay off workers or cut wages. Lee Ohanian, from UCLA, has argued that Hoover adopted pro-labor policies after the 1929 stock market crash that "accounted for close to two-thirds of the drop in the nation's gross domestic product over the two years that followed, causing what might otherwise have been a bad recession to slip into the Great Depression". This argument is at odds with the mainstream view of the causes of the Depression, and is strongly contested by both Keynesians and monetarists, for example Prof. Brad DeLong of U.C. Berkeley.
ITS CALLED LAISSEZ-FAIRE DUDE! wINKIPEDIA QUOTE ABOVE NOTES IT! JUST GOOGLE HOOVER AND LAISSEZ-FAIRE!!! ITS GRADE SCHOOL BASIC STUFF !!!!
When faced with Herbert Hoover, his perverted and obscene categories of laissez-faire (which caused the great depression)- right wingers become so desperate they deceive and misrepresent historical facts.
just a guess, i'm not much on history, but probably related to sense of desperation in the country. also don't forget Fisk and gold in the 1800's and silver and oil in the 70's and the chaos that can occur when someone corners and controls a commodity.
