Since you look at all sides of the argument, can you write a chapter by chapter refutation of "America's Great Depression" tomorrow. Provide a link to it tomorrow. Dumbass!

If there are any economists which looked at policies prior to 1929 it's the Austrians (i.e. Murray Rothbard in his book "America's Great Depression"). I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

And the "re-inflation" I was referring to was simply Greenspan's acceleration of the expansion after the "dot com" bust of 2001.

Anyway, even if it were as you described, that would place the Austrian school light years ahead of nearly everyone else, because nearly everyone else are never right even twice a day.
