Some see a crash; others see innovation and revolution.

  Yes, and because there is an objective reality underneath and not a fantasy land, one or the other should be right. Care picking sides?

    Change is inevitable. Disaster is not. Everyone has some degree of choice in how they meet those changes. One man's crash is another's opportunity. Both "sides" can be true, for different people at the same time.

      At the individual level maybe. (Maybe as a European) I prefer to think at the societal level. Not wanting to ivoke Godwin's law, but when Nazism came to power it too was a disaster for millions and an opportunity for few (e.g party leaders, lackeys, arms industries, etc). All the same, I would still call it solely a disaster. Same with the '29 and the "Great Depression". Some people probably made a lot of money off of it, but at the large scale, it was a tragedy and a disaster.
