My Links on the Deflation of 1873 to 1896

I’ve done a lot of research on the deflationary period from 1873 to 1896 in the Western world over the course of the last few months, and how this can be best explained by Post Keynesian economics. I also point to how the period had severe economic problems in contrast to the theories of the pro-deflation libertarian and Austrian schools, such as profit deflation, debt deflation, loss of business confidence, and in the UK an astonishing fall in and stagnation of investment.
