To this in the 1930s…

The Causes of the Great Depression

The Stock Market Crash In early 1928, stocks began a steady climb for 1 ½ years  This is called a BULL MARKET Normal American The rapid growth made “easy” money possible and infected Americans with speculative fever  people were able to get easy credit Guess What???!!!I got a fever!!! Think of “more cowbell” as more speculation, more credit, and more investing!!! October 29, 1929  BLACK TUESDAY Dow Jones (an index of stocks) fell 43% The crash of the stock market was the first visible sign of a disaster that had been building for years.

What would you do? If there was a way to make easy money with hardly any risk, would you do it?

Capitalist Economy 1920s Oct. 29, 1929 (Black Tuesday)

CAUSES OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION Low Interest RatesFederal Reserve kept interest rates low; companies borrowed money and expanded more than necessary. OverproductionCompanies made more goods than could be sold. Uneven Distribution of Wealth Not everyone who wanted consumer goods could afford to buy them. High TariffsTariffs restricted foreign demand for American goods. Falling DemandWith too many goods unsold, production was cut back and employees were laid off. Stock Market Speculation Low interest rates encouraged borrowing money to speculate, endangering bank wealth

Why do people put money in a bank? What does the bank do with your money? What would you do if your heard your bank was running out of money?
