[edit] Crime of 1873
As there is a section discussing Grant's contracting of the money supply, presumably by demonetizing silver, there should be a link to the Fourth Coinage Act/Crime of 1873. Additionally, these economic "hard times" led to the north's slackening on Reconstruction efforts, as well as creating Populism's base of discontent. 24.44.50.254 01:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Austrian School
I have excised the Austrian School section as in appropriate for the article as it currently stands. Should anyone care to pen a section on differing interpretations of this (and presumably other) panics, it can be restored. Eusebeus 15:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Long Depression and Panic of 1873
I disagree, stock market crashes and depressions are different things, even if they are linked. Very few crashes are followed by a depression, so they are notable when they happen. Take the Black Monday (1987) crash, now believed to be just a correction in a long term bull run. nirvana2013 17:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great Railroad Strike of 1877
This is alluded to in the current article, but should be described a bit more broadly and linked. Also, Grant was out by 1877, Hayes mobilized federal troops during the Great Strike.
[edit] Contradictions in article
(1) The Long Depression article makes no connective mention of the Panic of 1873; (2) the opening sentence of the article indicates depression lasted "until 1877" and the closing sentence says "the depression lifted in the spring of 1879."
