There seem to few Internet resources discussing it directly rather than referring to it in passing.

After the post-WWI recession that caused severe hyperinflation in Europe, production in North America took a dive.

This is most likely what you're looking for.

Edit: and if you're looking for Austrian school literature on the subject, Rothbard's America's Great Depression discusses it.

Depression of 1920?

I remember reading somewhere (i think it was in Thomas Woods' "33 things..") that the economy went through a small depression in 1920.. Is this true? Why can't I find any info about it anywhere?
