With Hurricane Harvey behind us and Irma coming right behind it, thought it would be interesting to have a little history lesson. Can this economy survive this?
Panic of 1873 - Wikipedia
Panic of 1873 - Wikipedia
In September 1873, the U.S. economy entered a crisis. This followed a period of post-Civil War economic over-expansion that arose from the Northern railroad boom. It came at the end of a series of economic setbacks: the Black Friday panic of 1869, the Chicago fire of 1871, the outbreak of equine influenza in 1872, and demonetization of silver in 1873.
