We begin with reference to  official investigations   on the crisis of  1929 and the subsequent bank crises in the Great Depression which we compare with those on spawned by the Global Financial Collapse of  2008, which has produced the greatest outpouring of these types of investigations and publications  It is our hypothesis that one important avenue for a historical understanding of the great financial debacles of the past consists in a careful evaluation of official literature and documents that can complement the theoretical approaches of economists in search of explanations for these events.
