John-I think I have read rather more economic history than you. The depression was a monetary phenomenon, which the grossly over leveraged and over bought stock market precipitated. That led to bank runs, which were the ultimate cause of the great contraction.

Shorting was inconsequential in the 29 crash. Then, as now, short interest was about 2% of the market.
