The story regarding the stock market crash fell to second on the page a small Associated Press story out of New York with the optimistic headline, "Prices Rally on Stock Market as Demand is Shown." The editors of The Daily Progress elected not to support the Associated Press story with a local story, showing any possible local reaction or business concern to how the crash might affect the local economy.

About The Great Depression

http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/depression/about.htm

Extractions: About the Great Depression T he Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. Almost all nations sought to protect their domestic production by imposing tariffs, raising existing ones, and setting quotas on foreign imports. The effect of these restrictive measures was to greatly reduce the volume of international trade: by 1932 the total value of world trade had fallen by more than half as country after country took measures against the importation of foreign goods. Source The International Depression The Great Depression of 1929-33 was the most severe economic crisis of modern times. Millions of people lost their jobs, and many farmers and businesses were bankrupted. Industrialized nations and those supplying primary products (food and raw materials) were all affected in one way or another. In Germany the United States industrial output fell by about 50 per cent, and between 25 and 33 per cent of the industrial labour force was unemployed. The Depression was eventually to cause a complete turn-around in economic theory and government policy. In the 1920s governments and business people largely believed, as they had since the 19

Everyone today wants to know if it could ever happen again. Smaller auto companies, especially those outside of Michigan, disappeared by the dozens in the years after the crash. General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford tried in vain to keep car sales up by slashing prices. Though sales plummeted, the Big Three emerged from the Depression with a higher market share (90 percent) than they had in the 1920s.

Extractions: September 7, 2004 I have no special reason to jump on one of our learned professions except they have been so hide-bound, narrow minded and conceited as to make a colossal mistake in (a) predicting a mild recession in 2001 and a slow recovery in 2003 and (b) totally missing the fact that we are moving slowly and steadily and helplessly into our Second Great Depression in less than 80 years. And, Horror of Horrors, this is happening despite the fact that this once distinguished profession has been telling our country and its leaders for decades that another Depression was impossible with their current bag of tools to prevent it. The very sad reality is that they have no tools to prevent it, they have no tools to predict it is coming, and once here, they have no golden wand to sweep it away. The Economics profession is so infatuated with its own techniques and group of Nobel laureate experts that they have literally made no progress since Yale's famous economics professor Irving Fisher made his great prediction of an unending period of prosperity just before the 1929 market crash and its ensuing Depression 1.

Extractions: Stock crash aftermath What can be even worse than a stock market crash including the great crash of 1929 are politicians rushing in to fix things. At one time, it was widely assumed that the 1929 crash led directly to the Great Depression that lasted throughout the decade of the 1930s. Now, more and more people who have studied that era have come to see what the government itself did to help as being the biggest reason why the depression went so deep and lasted so long. Even a liberal economist like John Kenneth Galbraith described the actions of the Federal Reserve in response to the 1929 crash as "shockingly incompetent." Neither Republican President Herbert Hoover or his Democratic successor Franklin D. Roosevelt had a clue about economics or a policy that made any sense. Both sought to keep prices including wages up, despite the fact that the money supply had declined by one third. How was the country supposed to buy all the output at existing prices, and employ all the workers at existing wages, when there was so much less money? One of Herbert Hoover's biographers said aptly that he was a great man but not a great president. Anyone who doubts his greatness should study the history of his massive program to feed starving people in Europe during and after the First World War.

http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0400crash29.htm

Extractions: web posted April 24, 2000 We are accustomed to viewing the 1929 stock market crash and the depression that followed as an example of greedy capitalism run amuck. Nothing could be further from the truth. Understanding the crash and depression requires a study in money, circulation, credit, and other subjects that seem dry and dull at first glance. The insufferable shoptalk around the subject of economics causes us to tune out. Once the jargon, sophistries, and linguistic posturing are swept aside however, the subject becomes fascinating. To understand monetary issues is to understand the essence of private ownership and freedom. Manipulation by governments, usually working in tandem with central bankers, of our monetary supply is the primary cause of systemic poverty and social dislocation. First some definitions. What is money? Money has three properties. It is a means of exchange, a measure of value, and an instrument of savings. As a means of exchange, we exchange a mutually agreeable abstract commodity, money, which has been anything from beads, seashells, tobacco or tally sticks to the internationally accepted standard of gold and silver. Money enables us to conduct commerce and trade without bartering our services. Primitive societies figured out the importance of money as an abstract means of exchange. Sound money, accepted by society as honest and standardized, is the basic building block of civilization.
Could We Be Facing Another Depression?

http://rense.com/general15/ddp.htm

Extractions: Yes, says a minority of economic seers, whose warnings also remind us that enlightened government is the best protection against Hoovervilles. "Prosperity is just around the corner," President Herbert Hoover infamously remarked in 1930. How wrong he was. Hoover's prognostication has gone down in history as a monumental goof, but what is forgotten is that, at the time, his utterance seemed quite reasonable. Business activity in the U.S. had fallen in only seven of the years from 1869 to 1929 (excluding the years of the World War I). The average annual decline in real gross domestic product (GDP) during this period was 1.6%, with one downturn of 5.5%, according to Peter L. Bernstein in Against the Gods: A History of Risk. But 60 years of economic history proved irrelevant during the catastrophe known as the Great Depression, when GDP fell 55%, from a peak in 1929 to a trough in June, 1932. After the terrorist attack of September 11, the U.S. economy has sunk into a recession. But the recent rally in the stock market shows that investors remain optimistic that fiscal stimulus and monetary easing will pull the economy out of the doldrums sometime in 2002. "The recovery should be robust during the second half of next year in response to the strong stimulus provided by monetary and fiscal policies," says Edward Yardeni, chief investment strategist of Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown. Adds James Paulson, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management: "The massive economic policy easing implemented since the terrorist attack has caused many to expect a 'V-type' economic recovery."
THE WORST IN HISTORY (1929-30 Vs. 1999-00)
The economic contraction that started in 1929 was the worst in history. market crash was the most important, immediate cause of the ensuing depression.
http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_00/richebacher051000.html

Extractions: by Dr. Kurt Richebacher The economic contraction that started in 1929 was the worst in history. Given the scale and importance of this event, it is remarkable how little is generally known about both its course and its causes. Most probably, this largely has to do with the predominant conviction that the central banks and governments of today possess the superior wisdom and the better instruments to keep everything under control. Why bother about foolishness in history? In principle, there are two diametrically opposite explanations of the unusual severity of the Great Depression of the 1930s. One strongly associated with the leading economists of the Austrian School (Mises, Hayek) regards the Depression as the unavoidable, disastrous end of the unsustainable, structural maladjustments which the monetary and financial excesses had inflicted between 1927-29 on the economy and the financial system. In this view, the severity of any depression is largely predetermined by the magnitude of the economic and financial maladjustments that have accumulated during the preceding boom. This view about the ultimate cause of the Great Depression predominated among economists around the world until the early 1960s. But one book, appearing in 1963, radically changed that view, at least among American economists. It was Friedman's and Schwartz's classic, Monetary History of the United States. This book categorically postulated that there had been neither inflation nor any money or credit excesses in the 1920s that could have caused the economy's collapse between 1929 and 1933. From this followed the conclusion that the Great Depression essentially had its crucial cause in policy faults that were made during these years.

Brief notes on the six papers for this week... Eugene White, "The Stock Market Boom and the Crash of 1929" tries to take a balanced look at the question of whether the stock market boom of the 1920s was a "bubble." White concludes that it probably was: irrational exuberance rather than a sober calculation of expected present discounted values. But does the fact that there was a stock market bubble play a role in causing the Great Depression? What could be the causal connections between bubbles on the one hand and big depressions on the other? Christina Romer, "The Great Crash and the Onset of the Great Depression" argues that the stock market crash was a powerful economic shock, but not through any normal channels. In her view, the Great Crash was a shock to confidence. It generated uncertainty. The uncertainty thus produced led consumers to hold off on purchaes of durable goodsand it is this collapse in durable goods purchases that is the initial push that sends the snowball of the Great Depression rolling. What alternative channels might have been used by the Great Crash to cause the Depression? Why does Romer focus so heavily on this one particular channel?
