Great Depression

The Great Depression had numerous causes but we discussed a few major ones. The four major explanations are the Keynesian, Internationalist, Monetarist and the mal-distribution of income. So, in this post, I would like you evaluate at least two of the explanations using specific historical detail. Make sure to point out both the value of the explanation as well as its limitations using specific historical detail. Remember to build of the comments before you by adding something new to the thread.
