Welcome to Great Depression II, a website that focuses on the current global economic crisis, which a growing number of people refer to as the Second Great Depression.
If this is your first visit, I strongly recommend you read the Introduction and the article Comparing Depressions. You will also enjoy the information about various nation’s economic situations I incorporated from the CIA World Factbook into this site’s Reference section.
In the meantime, I’ve been working even harder on my primary political website, Politix. You can also find some information about ecnomy-related topics there.
GDII might be thought of as three projects in one. First, it features my analysis of the economic situation, drawing on my political insight but at the same time shaped by my biases and limitations. Second, it’s an all around economic crisis reference, featuring other people’s opinions and ideas, charts and graphs and other reference tools.
• Great Depression II (Knol)
• Our Great Depression (Opera Blog & forums)
• GD II (Facebook)
• GDII (MySpace)
Finally, the project includes a number of blogs, forums and social groups, offering visitors an opportunity to interact and share their insights and ideas. (See the links on the left and right.)
Though the topic is obviously depressing, I hope you enjoy your visit. If you value truth as I do, you may even find a silver lining somewhere in this stinking mess.
