The Forgotten Depression: 1921: The Crash That Cured Itself is a work of economic history and policy argument by James Grant, a financial journalist and historian known for his interest in market behavior and monetary policy. The book examines the severe but brief U.S. depression of 1920 to 1921 and argues that it recovered quickly without the kind of large-scale federal stimulus associated with later downturns. Grant uses this episode to question the assumption that government intervention is always the best or fastest response to recession. Rather than treating the book as a neutral chronicle, he builds a historical case for market adjustment, fiscal restraint, and limited intervention. The result is both a narrative history of a neglected downturn and a direct contribution to ongoing debates about how economies recover from shocks.
