A weakening — some survived the decade.
Undermined, not destroyed

- The objective is the causes and effects of the global economic crisis in the 1920s and 1930s.
- Causes: weaknesses in international trade and in monetary theories and practices — two things, not one.
- Effects: democracies undermined, radical politics fomented, and the conditions 8.6 will build on.
A government holds a doctrine that says the correct response to falling revenue is to spend less. It follows the doctrine, demand falls further, and the doctrine tells it to cut again. Nothing has gone wrong with the machinery; the instructions themselves are the fault.
The Great Depression, caused by weaknesses in international trade and monetary theories and practices, undermined Western European democracies and fomented radical political responses throughout Europe. The CED faults the theories as well as the practices; undermined is a weakening, not a collapse; and economic instability reappears in 8.6 as a condition for fascism.
