Hoover Research Fellow Jennifer Burns reveals insights from Milton Friedman’s papers into what caused the Great Depression, including how Friedman’s quest to find the answer led him to a remarkable collaboration with economist Anna Schwartz. Their study, "A Monetary History of the United States," became the playbook for policymakers in times of economic crisis.

The Milton Friedman papers are housed at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives at Stanford University.
