    Questions about the Great Depression from an Austrian point of view

I'm not well-versed in Austrian economics, and he had some questions that I was not able to answer, so I thought I'd come hear to get the answers seeing as many of you know much more about economics than I do. Here are...

    The Great Depression (What caused it?)

    According to wikipedia: It's my understanding that at this time we were still on a gold standard in this country. How could the federal reserve print money? I probably need to pick up some books on the creation of the Fed, but I'd appropriate if someone could explain this to me.

    What got us out of the Great Depression?

    I know it was not the New Deal, or World War Two, that got us out. I'm in a debate on another forum about this and need to get hooked up with some good info. I thought I read an article about this on C4L recently but I can't find it, maybe it was elsewhere.
