So if we know that the “War to end all wars” - didn’t, why would we think that something relatively minor like The Great Depression would end all depressions? Tough times are just a matter of time. So are good times. “What goes around comes around.”

Then there’s what happens when economic powerhouses loose their historic advantages. Here’s what was the world’s second largest economy. A huge manufacturing economy. Check out the cumulative losses starting at its 1980s peak. Note that 2 decades after its peak (2010) it was down a whopping 70% from that peak.

From your DOW Jones link.

So in 1990 the Dow was at 2,633

Now in 202 the Dow is at 26,765

Your point you are making about the past 30 years is what?
