In the 19th century, what was the Great Depression?

By Pamela Landy

The Great Depression in the 19th century was the worldwide period of deflation that lasted from 1873 to 1897 and caused erratic fluctuations in economic activity in the U.S.

Unlike the Great Depression of the 1930s, it was not marked by low productivity.
