Depressions & Crashes in US History (in-person)

Monday, June 23 at 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us for an in-person history lecture:

“A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours.”

Depressions and crashes in US History

Depression, Crash, Recession, Downturn… what’s the difference? And why can’t we simply control the economy so that it never shrinks or fails?
Crashes are part and parcel of the American economic miracle. To some, these downturns are a necessary purging of waste and excess from our economy; to others, the cycle of boom and bust is a vicious master driving the employment that constitutes the well-being of millions of working-class Americans. This talk will explore crashes and depressions in our history, and how they have been countered… or not.

Hamish Lutris is an Associate Professor of History, Political Science, and Geography for Manchester Community College. He is a well-known speaker and instructor throughout Connecticut and the region with long experience in Central Europe, having been involved in education, strategic planning, and international research cooperation programs there. He has also worked in some of America’s premier natural and historical sites, and has led naturalist and educational programs in both the United States and Europe.
