These are stunning.
For those who think that "economists" are truly blind, to the world of reality, this first set of photos was listed on Catherine's NYTimes blog site.
Beautiful pictures from just before to during WW2.
So, see if YOU can see "the end of the Great Depression" and/or the beginning of The War.
These are MUCH larger photos that we - you, me and U.S. - usually get from newspapers on the web.
Enjoy!!
