Economic Troubles on the Horizon Things Aren’t as Good as They Appear to Be!

Signs of Trouble Major Industries in Trouble: -- RR vs. -- Coal Mining vs. -- Lumber Co.’s Farmers in Trouble: -- Post WWI: crop prices -- grow more crops = prices more! -- Can’t pay debt to banks -- Banks seize farms and equipment

Consumers: -- Buying less b/c of rising prices, stagnant wages -- overbuying on credit (installment plan) = DEBT! Uneven Distribution of wealth : -- widening income gap Signs of Trouble

Uneven Income Distribution, Over $10,000 = 0.1% of population - 80% of families have no savings

TODAY: The poorest 90 percent of Americans make an average of $31,244 a year, while the top 1 percent make over $1.1 million:

According to this chart, most income groups have barely grown richer since But the top 1 percent has seen its income nearly quadruple:

And this chart suggests most Americans have little idea of just how unequal income distribution is; they'd like things to be divvied more equitably:

Herbert Hoover Elected Pres., 1928 Laissez-Faire Republican President Why elected? - Continue the prosperous 1920s! “We in America are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before.” Party On!

Stock Market = Riches? * By 1929, 4 million Americans own stock (3% of pop.) * Speculation: buying risky stocks & bonds to make a quick profit * Buying on margin: Paying a small % of a stock’s price as a down payment and borrowing $ for the rest. An “installment plan” for stocks.

The Stock Market Crashes: Oct. 29, 1929, “Black Tuesday” Stock market plunges on Oct. 24th Oct 29th: 16.4 million shares “dumped” People who had bought on margin now had a huge debt ● Others lose their life savings (no ins.) ● Total investments lost = $30 billion ( = to cost of WWI)!

Financial Collapse Banks and other businesses go bankrupt - By ,000 of 25,000 banks had collapsed ● : 90,000 businesses go bankrupt - Gross Nat’l Product (U.S.’ total output of goods & services) is almost cut in ½ ● Unemployment rises drastically = 3% unemployment rate (1.6 mill. pple) = 25% unemployment rate (13 mill. pple)

Gov’t Reaction: Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act highest tariff in U.S. history designed to protect American farmers and manufacturers – plan actually backfired Worldwide trade drops 40%

Causes to The Great Depression Tariffs lower world trade A crisis in the farm sector & other industries. The availability of easy credit = debt. An unequal distribution of income.
