Edna Mae (Ellen Burstyn) is a faith healer without an orthodox faith. Though the deaf and the halt are cured at her touch, she is no manic Holy Roller, no snake-shaking spellbinder invoking God's immediate intervention for the sake of a fatter collection plate.

The money supply then dropped precipitously, actually declining at an annual rate of 2.4% during the spring. At the same time, economic output dropped at a 9.6% annual rate, its steepest quarterly slump on record. Then in the summer, the Fed reversed course and began frantically pumping...
