Not really.

I’d start by studying Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech to get some perspective away from people writing about their pet economic theories.

Political speech is only slightly more reputable than "pet economic theories", imo. What does the academic literature say about this?

Quite a bit. I’d suggest again to check it out.

It’s an interesting period of history with many parallels to our current state of affairs.

What a useless response. Suggest instead how to check it out! What books should be looked up or terms googled?
