Extractions: Causes and Cures It should be noted that all of the cures have been tried and while we seem to be free of Depressions, it's not clear that business cycles have been eliminated. The Stock Market Crash The Stock Market Crash in October of 1929 is often cited as the beginning of the Great Depression, but did it actually cause it? The answer is no. First, the stock price for a particular company merely reflects current information about the future income stream of that company. Thus, it is a change in available information that changes the stock price. When the Fed began to raise interest rates in early 1929, this began the tumble. However, a stock market crash could cause people to increase their liquidity preference which might lead them to hoard money. In the August 1990 issue of The Quarterly Journal of Economics , Christine D. Romer writes that "the negative effect of stock market variability is more than strong enough to account for the entire decline in real consumer spending on durables that occurred in late 1929 and 1930."

http://www2.austin.cc.tx.us/lpatrick/his1693/early.html

Extractions: "The Crash and Early Depression" Introduction Things were so good in 1928 that presidential candidate Herbert Hoover issued a glowing prediction; one that would return to haunt him. He said: "We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land. The poor-house is vanishing from among us". Within a year, however, the stock market collapsed and the Great Depression, which would last an entire decade, began. Hoover, who had been praised for helping produce the economic boom of the 1920s in his capacity as Secretary of Commerce, now suffered one of the crueler fates of history when the boom turned to bust. By 1933 when he left office, millions of his fellow citizens - having lost their jobs, their savings, their homes - struggled to survive in pitiful shantytowns known as "Hoovervilles". How had it all come to pass? How had the promise of inevitable as well as perpetual prosperity and growth collapsed seemingly overnight? Economists have been arguing since 1929 about the causes of the stock market crash and the global depression which ensued. We shall concern ourselves only with one such explanation - that of John Kenneth Galbraith, an influential and active liberal advisor in the Democratic party. Galbraith argues that four economic trends and two political/governmental factors at least partially explain the crash and the severity and duration of the Great Depression. Economic Weaknesses Galbraith cites the increasingly inequitable distribution of wealth in the United States during the 1920s as an important weakness of the economy. Almost all Americans benefitted to some degree from the boom - wages went up steadily, agriculture improved somewhat, etc. However, increased business profits far outdistanced all other sectors of the economy. The various reductions in the federal income tax enacted at the urging of Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon were greater at the upper income levels than at the middle or lower levels. Therefore, more and more of the nation's wealth was funnelled into the hands of fewer and fewer people. By 1929 the wealthiest five percent of the population possessed one-third of all wealth.

http://www.marist.edu/summerscholars/96/ovpe.htm

Extractions: - Calvin Coolidge - After the end of World War I, the economy of the United States began a rise which resulted in the greatest recession the country has ever seen. The end of World War I saw a growth of industry which was unmatched by anything which had come before. This produced a continually rising standard of living during the 1920s, which brought new comforts into people's lives. However, rampant, unchecked change is usually not a good thing, and can often have unexpected side effects. The side effect in this case was the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression which followed. Along with the Great Depression came Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal, bringing widespread political and economic implications. The country entered the 1920s with Warren G. Harding as president. Harding was a Republican as well as a laissez-faire capitalist. He believed in, and advocated policies which reduced taxes and regulation, allowed monopolies to form, and allowed the inequality of wealth and income to reach record levels. When Harding died in 1923, Calvin Coolidge assumed office as president. Coolidge, a man known for saying, "The business of America is business," continued Harding's policies of minimal government intervention in the economy and in business.

Great Depression - Definition Of Great Depression In Encyclopedia
The Great depression was a global economic slump that began in 1929 and bottomed in imagination the Great depression was started by the crash of 1929 .
http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Great_Depression

Extractions: The Great Depression was a global economic slump that began in 1929 and bottomed in 1933. However most of the remainder of the 1930's was spent recovering from the contraction, and it would be well after World War II when such indicators as industrial production, share prices and global GDP surpassed their 1929 peaks. The Great Depression can refer to the economic event, but it can also refer to the cultural period, often called simply "The Depression", and to the political response to the economic events. The "Great Depression" is so named because it is by far the largest sustained decline in industrial production and productivity from the century and a half where economic records have been kept with any regularity, and it reached virtually the entire industrialized world and their trading partners in peripheral nations. It led to massive bank failures, high unemployment, as well as dramatic drops in GDP, industrial production, share prices and virtually every other measure of economic growth.

Extractions: Among the major reasons for the Great Depression were overproduction, restrictive trade policy, speculation in the stock market based on buying stock on credit, problems with the banking system, and tax policy. What began as a mild recession following a lengthy period of economic expansion soon became a depression. By the 1930s the amount of money in circulation had drastically decreased.

Extractions: Friday, October 29, 1999 Today marks the 70th anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929. Despite the passage of so many years, however, there is still no consensus on what caused the crash or the relationship between the crash and the Great Depression. These are still important questions because many of the factors that have been suggested as causing the crash and subsequent depression are still relevant today. One of the most hotly debated causes of the crash is the Smoot-Hawley tariff. Protectionists like Alfred Eckes and Pat Buchanan argue that it could not have affected the market because the law was not passed until 1930, long after the crash. Although this is true, much of the legislative activity took place in 1929. As economist Alan Reynolds convincingly demonstrated in National Review (November 9, 1979), actions favoring passage of the tariff bill correlate quite well with declines in the stock market during 1929, culminating on October 29. The reason why the market crashed well in advance of the tariff becoming law is because markets are forward-looking, and quickly capitalize any policy that will impact on future profits. Fred Kent, Director of the Bankers' Trust Company, confirms that this is what happened in 1929. In a speech on November 11, 1929, Kent said, "As soon as dealers in securities, who were constantly on the watch for indications as to business conditions, realized that this feeling of uneasiness (on account of the tariff bill) was spreading throughout industry, they began selling stocks."

Extractions: Today marks the 70th anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929. There is still no consensus on causes of the crash or its relationship to the Great Depression. These are still important questions because many of the suggested causes are still relevant today. Take the Smoot-Hawley tariff on imported goods: Another factor was the Federal Reserve's over-reliance on low inflation (price stability) as the main indicator of the correctness of monetary policy. Stable prices could disguise underlying economic imbalances caused by monetary policy. During most of the 1920s, Fed policy was too easy; it turned sharply tighter in the late 1920s and remained tight throughout the 1930s until World War II.

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/weimar_depression_1929.htm

Extractions: The Weimar Republic was devastated by Wall Street Crash of October 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. The Crash had a devastating impact on the American economy but because America had propped up the Weimar Republic with huge loans in 1924 (the Dawes Plan) and in 1929 (the Young Plan), what happened to the American economy had to impact the Weimar Republic's economy. Both plans had loaned Weimar money to prop up the countrys economy - especially after the experiences of hyperinflation in 1923. Now America needed those loans back to assist her faltering economy. Stresemann had died in 1929, but shortly before he died even he admitted that the German economy was a lot more fragile than some would have liked to accept. "The economic position is only flourishing on the surface. Germany is in fact dancing on a volcano. If the short-term credits are called in, a large section of our economy would collapse." After the Wall Street Crash, America gave Germany 90 days to start to re-pay money loaned to her. No other world power had the money to give Germany cash injections. Britain and France were still recovering from the First World War and the Wall Street Crash was to have an impact on industrial Britain. Stalins Russia was still in a desperate state and embarking on the 5 year plans . Therefore, an impoverished Weimar Germany could only call on America for help and she was effectively bankrupt by the end of 1929 and quite incapable of lending money.

Extractions: Stock Market Crash - The stock market crash ushered in the Great Depression. What made the stock market crash? Here's a brief summary. Capital is the tools needed to produce things of value out of raw materials. Buildings and machines are common examples of capital. A factory is a building with machines for making valued goods. Throughout the twentieth century, most of the capital in the United States was represented by stocks. A corporation owned capital. Ownership of the corporation in turn took the form of shares of stock. Each share of stock represented a proportionate share of the corporation. The stocks were bought and sold on stock exchanges, of which the most important was the New York Stock Exchange located on Wall Street in Manhattan. Throughout the 1920s a long boom took stock prices to peaks never before seen. From 1920 to 1929 stocks more than quadrupled in value. Many investors became convinced that stocks were a sure thing and borrowed heavily to invest more money in the market.

Use the film or this Web site to learn more, either in a classroom or on your own. The following activities are grouped into 4 categories: civics, history, economics, and geography. You can also read a few helpful hints for completing the activities. Working together as a class, prepare a "Beginner's Guide to the U.S. Stock Market" for people who know little or nothing about the topic. Assign one group of students to find the meaning of each of the following terms and then write a simple definition: (The group should add definitions of any other terms it thinks would be useful.) Assign a second group of students to learn how to read the stock market listings in the daily newspaper and then prepare a chart showing what the numbers and abbreviations mean. Assign a third group of students to prepare a line graph showing changes in the value of the stock market over the past ten years. When all groups have finished, assemble the pieces to form a booklet. Then distribute copies to classmates and family members and ask for feedback on whether readers found the booklet helpful in explaining the market.

http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/GreatDepression.html

Extractions: Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help by Robert J. Samuelson The Great Depression of the thirties remains the most important economic event in American history. It caused enormous hardship for tens of millions of people and the failure of a large fraction of the nation's banks, businesses, and farms. It transformed national politics by vastly expanding government, which was increasingly expected to stabilize the economy and to prevent suffering. Democrats became the majority party. In 1929 the Republicans controlled the White House and Congress. By 1933, the Democrats had the presidency and, with huge margins, Congress (310-117 in the House, and 60-35 in the Senate). President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal gave birth to the American version of the welfare state. Social Security, unemployment insurance, and federal family assistance all began in the thirties. It is hard for those who did not live through it to grasp the full force of the worldwide depression. Between 1930 and 1939 U.S. unemployment averaged 18.2 percent. The economy's output of goods and services (gross national product) declined 30 percent between 1929 and 1933 and recovered to the 1929 level only in 1939. Prices of almost everything (farm products, raw materials, industrial goods, stocks) fell dramatically. Farm prices, for instance, dropped 51 percent from 1929 to 1933. World trade shriveled: between 1929 and 1933 it shrank 65 percent in dollar value and 25 percent in unit volume. Most nations suffered. In 1932 Britain's unemployment was 17.6 percent. Germany's depression hastened the rise of Hitler and, thereby, contributed to World War II.
