Interesting
Herbert Hoover was President Warren Harding's Commerce Secretary in the 1921 recession. I recall reading that Hoover didn't like Harding's handling of the '21 recession, even though it was over in 12-18 months. Hoover obviously thought he knew better, he extended his recession 2-3 years and lost his reelection bid and the recession became a depression. (with help from FDR)

Harding has been given a terribly undeserved reputation as an awful President.
