and some of the things jessica was just saying i resonate with. and are part of the rationale for this panel. partly because it's our way, i think, of acknowledging that historians have something unique to bring to the understandings of economic crises. and why they matter. not only in the degree to which historians can really step back and get a fully contextual sense of the big structural transformations that are underlying these moments of panic and moments of crisis. but historians, you know, narrative is our tool. narrative is our tool for making sense of the past. so we have a particular understanding of why it is that narratives matter in helping people to make sense of in all sorts of different ways the very bewildering events that are happening all around them. and helping people to in that way try to rest some control, whether they really can or not, over, again, these bewhich wouldering events that are disrupting their lives, possibly, but also in bringing some understanding to how narratives are used for political purposes. not just na

i know jessica here and her work as well. >> in the 1830s, the same situation. crisis caused incredible disruption in people's lives and they struggle to make sense of them. gender is a way in which they change as a course of financial crisis. in the immediate proceeding of the panic of 1837, a bunch of new york working men had a riot. they through flour out of the windows of warehouses and as my friend said, because their sense of masculinity was threatened. they couldn't provide for their families. >> it was a wage they were arguing over? >> the price of flour. they were being paid less and less because the flour's price is going up and up. people ate mostly bread. poor people couldn't afford much to eat. this was before they expected square meals and balanced diets. before a social safety net. if a working man didn't make a wage that could buy barrels of flower, and that was part of life in the free market world. people just starved. >> it would be another 24 years before the civil war started in 1837, right? >> yes. >> how long did the effects of that cry sa
