@Leo (BillNyeLand) It appears the "long depression" never actually happend

"Orthodox economic historians have long complained about the "great depression" that is supposed to have struck the United States in the panic of 1873 and lasted for an unprecedented six years, until 1879. Much of the stagnation is supposed to have been caused by a monetary contraction leading to the resumption of specie payments in 1879. Yet what sort of "depression" is it which saw an extraordinarily large expansion of industry, of railroads, of physical output, of net national product, or real per capita income [emphasis mine]? As Friedman and Schwartz admit, the decade from 1869 to 1879 saw a 3-percent per-annum increase in money national product, an outstanding real national product growth of 6.8 percent per year in this period, and a phenomenal rise of 4.5 percent per year in real product per capita."

"It should be clear, then, that the "great depression" of the 1870s is merely a myth – a myth brought about by misinterpretation of the fact that prices in general fell sharply during the entire period. Indeed they fell from the end of the Civil War until 1879. … Unfortunately most historians and economists are conditioned to believe that steadily fall prices must [emphasis original] result in depression: hence amazement at the obvious prosperity and economic growth during this era.
"

Deflation happening =/= economic downturn, deflation is a good thing aswell.

I wonder if it's the case for the other panics in that century.

And I've found it, yes it was. Older analysts relied on deflation being an effect of a depression or such

It seems the panics or recessions before the FED were much less severe and less common.

nice

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ I strongly disagree.

The Fed was 1913

In the 1800s free-banking era, booms were boomier, crashes were crashier, and generally growth was a lot more variable.

Indeed, the common interval of 3-4 years between recessions in the 1800s and 1900s has since evolved into a 7-10 year interval between recessions since the 1980s.

You can attribute this to what you want, but this goes very much against your claim that “It seems the panics or recessions before the FED were much less severe and less common.”
