      In any case, I wasn't speaking only of post-1945 US history, but rather of the Harding, Coolidge, Hoover era.

      Trump definitely a throwback to that tradition -- but that foreign policy wrecked havoc on the world so not very reassuring!

      Did it really? I'm not convinced.

      Refusal to forgive European loans plus protectionism were major factors in economic volatility of era.

      I think this is largely mythology to justify post-1945 US hegemony, but it's not something I can argue properly in 140 character bursts.

      Sorry: But for one example, look at the Dawes plan

      Right, USA undertook stopgap measures like Dawes Plan but underlying problems remained. Which lead to 1930s collapse.

      You cited loan forgiveness, hence my citing of Dawes. But more broadly I don't see Nazism as largely the product of the economic crisis.

      Well, that is question that requires a forum more spacious than twitter!

      Yes, obviously. But I still don't understand your citing US loan forgiveness (Dawes did this) & protectionism as central to the 30s crisis.

      My understanding is Dawes Plan provided only partial relief & included new loans, so it worked only as temporary measure.

          I don't think that's right at all. To the contrary, Weimar recovered under Stresemann. But that recovery was cut short by the 1929 crash.
