Yes, there were numerous problems in the 1930s (even setting aside the Depression) and yet it was also an era in which F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "Tender Is the Night", John Do Passos wrote "U.S.A.", Aaron Copeland composed "El Salon Mexico", Edward Hopper painted "New York Movie", Arnold Schoenberg composed "Violin Concerto Opus 36", Georgia O'Keefe painted "Summer Days", Ernest Hemingway wrote "To Have and Have Not", John Steinbeck wrote "The Grapes of Wrath", and George Gershwin composed "Porgy and Bess"......and when mutilating and poisoning children wasn't on anyone's radar. Just for some perspective.
