Or, de nombreuses banques ont accumulé un effet de levier excessif tout en présentant de solides ratios de fonds propres fondés sur les risques.

Publicada en 1936 con el título de "teoría general de la ocupación, el interés y el dinero", constitutiva de una serie crítica a la Escuela Neoclásica que presumía el equilibrio del sistema en régimen de pleno empleo. Cuando lo normal, según Keynes, es el paro y las posibilidades de depresión (como la que se daba a escala mundial cuando publicó su libro), frente a la cual sólo cabe combatir con inversiones, aunque sea sobre la base de la financiación con déficit.

This exhibition included 77 seriagraphs and serigraphic proofs produced for the Christmas card series. Twenty-six Canadian artists contributed to the series, among them several members of the Group of Seven who had already gained international recognition, including A. Y. Jackson, Lawren Harris, and Franklin Carmichael. It was A. Y. Jackson who encouraged William E. Coutts to issue the series. Jackson saw the production of the series as a source of revenue for some of the artists who were experiencing financial difficulties and also as an opportunity to create contemporary Canadian greeting cards. The "Painters of Canada" series began at the end of the 1920s and started an on-going tradition for Hallmark Cards Canada, the successor to the William E. Coutts Company. Unfortunately, the series that at first promised to be a great success was begun during the Depression and proved to be a financial failure. Nevertheless, the series was an artistic success. This exhibition was produced by the National Archives of Canada using many of the cards donated by Hallmark Cards Canada. 1, record 12, English, - Painters%20of%20Canada%20Series%3A%20Exhibition%20of%20Christmas%20Cards%201931

The American term "skid row" is used to refer to the rundown area of a city where alcoholics and vagrants congregate. The first skid row was Skid Road(Yesler Way) in Seattle, where logs were skidded into the water for delivery to Henry Yesler's lumber mills. After the onset of the Great Depression, the area went into decline, and skid row became synonymous with being a bad neighborhood. 1, record 13, English, - skid%20row
