This is a repeat, but I missed it the first time, and have heard some say it was a good show - Friday night, at 7pm west coast time. Figured it was a timely topic, given all the depression/recession/layoff/economy threads here of late.

http://www.history.com/genericContent.do?id=61014Crash: The Next Great Depression?:
This one-hour special looks at the current economic meltdown in the US and compares and contrasts it with what led up to the Great Depression, the 1929 Crash, its immediate aftermath and what helped to bring us out of the Depression. Threading first person accounts with expert interviews, the special lets viewers understand how much history is repeating itself and what does history tell us about our future?
