Carl Snyder was an American economist and statistician. His response to the Great Depression was to write his magnum opus Capitalism the Creator. The book, written in an eccentric prose style is part classical liberal manifesto, part elucubration of an enthusiastic statistical autodidact. It blamed the Depression on the Fed's failure to stabilize the money stock and the price level.
