World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History DEPRESSIONS : The Great Depression The years since the United States became an industrial economy have seen one Great Depression, that of 1929-1941. Whether assessed by the relative shortfall of production from trend or by the duration of slack production, the Great Depression was of an order of magnitude larger than any others. Thus this essay breaks chronological order and considers it first. It is straightforward to narrate the slide of the United States into the depression. The 1920s saw a boom as firms invested in capacity and consumers bought durable goods on credit in quantity for the first time. The boom was the result of optimism: businesspeople and economists believed that the newly born Federal Reserve would stabilize the economy and that the pace of technological progress guaranteed rising living standards and expanding markets. The Federal Reserve's attempt in 1928 and 1929 to raise interest rates to discourage stock speculation brought on an initial recession. Caught by surprise, firms cut back their own plans for further purchase of producer durable goods, and firms making producer durables cut back production; out-of work consumers—and those who feared they might soon be out of work—cut back purchases of consumer durables, and firms making consumer durables faced falling demand as well. Businesspeople, economists, and politicians—most memorably Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon—expected the recession of 1929-1930 to be self-limiting. Earlier recessions had come to an end when the gap between actual and trend production was as large as in 1930. They expected workers with idle hands and capitalists with idle machines to try to undersell their still at-work peers. Prices would fall. When prices fell enough, entrepreneurs would gamble that even with slack demand production would be profitable at the new, lower wages. Production would then resume.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History LIBERALISM Before the New Deal gave the term liberalism its modern American meaning, it was a little-used word that referred to a belief in laissez-faire economics and limited government. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president who defined liberalism for most Americans, came to power in the midst of blinding economic misery at home and barbarism abroad. A month before Roosevelt took office in March 1933, Adolf Hitler took power in Germany and Joseph Stalin was liquidating millions of peasants in the Ukraine. Democracy, according to the "best" minds of the age, was a pleasant nineteenth-century myth out of place in a world where, as World War I had demonstrated, mass sentiment could be manufactured like bicycles. Democracy, said Benito Mussolini in Italy, was insufficiently dynamic. "All the experiments of our time," he crowed, "are anti-liberal." Overwhelmed by the collapse of the economy, bankers and businesspeople urged the president to take extraordinary powers. The respected liberal journalist Louis Fischer spoke for many when he argued that given the collapse of capitalist democracy, the country had to choose between "capitalistic dictatorship and white terror on the one hand and Soviet dictatorship on the other." On the right, laissez-faire economists argued that the depression had been brought on by the trade unions which had undercut capitalism by reducing profit margins. The depression could be ended only if Roosevelt seized the emergency powers necessary to restrict democracy and restore profit margins. From the left came the assertion that prosperity could be restored only through a command economy that would necessarily restrict individual liberties. There was, said Roosevelt's 1936 presidential opponent, Alf Landon, "no half-way house between these two systems."

(Library of Congress) In October 1929 the stock market crashed, wiping out 40 percent of the paper values of common stock and triggering a worldwide depression. By 1933 the value of stock on the New York Stock Exchange was less than a fifth of what it had been in 1929. Business houses closed their doors, factories shut down and banks failed. Farm income fell some 50 percent. By 1932 approximately one out of every four Americans was unemployed. The core of the problem was the immense disparity between the country's productive capacity and the ability of people to consume. Great innovations in productive techniques during and after the war raised the output of industry beyond the purchasing capacity of U.S. farmers and wage earners. The presidential campaign of 1932 was chiefly a debate over the causes and possible remedies of the Great Depression. The Republican Herbert Hoover planned to depend largely on natural processes of recovery, while the Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt was prepared to use the federal government's authority for bold experimental remedies. Roosevelt was elected president on the platform of a "New Deal" for the American people.

Through literature, photographs, newspaper headlines, and other primary documents, students analyze the causes and effects of the Great Depression including agricultural conditions. As they consider whether a great depression could happen again, they learn about the dramatic changes in the role of the federal government that took place during the New Deal. They read different perspectives on the efficacy of the New Deal and then draw their own conclusions as to its effectiveness and lasting impact.

Catalog Overview Participants of this era are still alive, and their common memories of cataclysmic eventsfrom the Crash of 1929 through World War IIare still common points of reference today. Our closeness to this era should help students see how today’s problems and choices are connected to the past. Knowledge of history is the precondition of political intelligence, setting the stage for current questions about government’s role and rule, foreign policy, the continuing search for core values, and the ongoing imperative to extend the founding principles to all Americans. The Great Depression and the New Deal deserve careful attention for four reasons. First, Americans in the 1930s enduredand conqueredthe greatest economic crisis in American history. Second, the Depression wrought deep changes in people’s attitudes toward government’s responsibilities. Third, organized labor acquired new rights. Fourth, the New Deal set in place legislation that reshaped modern American capitalism.

TIMELINES OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION: This page features two timelines: the first for general events of the Roaring 20s and the Great Depression, the second for leading economic indicators. The importance of these timelines cannot be emphasized enough. Seeing the order in which events actually occurred dispels many myths about the Great Depression. One of the greatest of these myths is that government intervention was responsible for its onset. Truly massive intervention began only under the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt in 1933, who was sworn in after the worst had already hit. Although his New Deal did not cure it, all the leading economic indicators improved on his watch. But don't take my word for it here is the raw data: TIMELINE OF GENERAL EVENTS 1920s (Decade) During World War I, federal spending grows three times larger than tax collections. When the government cuts back spending to balance the budget in 1920, a severe recession results. However, the war economy invested heavily in the manufacturing sector, and the next decade will see an explosion of productivity... although only for certain sectors of the economy. An average of 600 banks fail each year.
