Pure Food and Drug Act Tennessee Valley Authority mapCh 15 TestDescribe the causes of the Great Depression. In the late 1920s, most people felt the economy wasdoing well. Rising stock prices throughout the decade had createdprosperity for many and widespread optimism. But this prosperity wassuperficial and hid underlying economic problems. Both consumersand farmers were going deeper into debt because of easy credit. Farmprices had been falling because of overproduction. Basic industries,such as railroads and coal mining, were barely making any profits.Moreover, many people could not make a decent living, and the gapbetween rich and poor was widening. These weaknesses were exposedwhen the stock market crashed in 1929. Its effects were amplified bythe fact that many investors had borrowed money to buy stocks. Thecrash hastened the collapse of banks, which had invested in the market,causing millions of people to lose their life savings, and caused businessesto close or cut back production. Millions of people were withoutjobs. Chronic unemployment left many people living in shanties, standingin bread lines, and demoralized by hard times.Defend the argument that Americas poor use of credit will be the leading factor towards the economic collapse of the late 1920s. Debt Deflation happened when banks lent out more money than they had to lend. Manufacturers and retailers offered consumers one dollar down and one dollar a month installment Plans in order to sell more products. Easy credit led to a amount of consumer debt that could never be realistically paid. Brokerage firms on average would lend $9 for every $1 an investor had deposited, buying on margin.When the market fell, brokers called in these loans, which could not be paid back. Banks began to fail as debtors defaulted on debt and depositors attempted to withdraw their deposits (Bank Runs), this happened with masses of people. Bank failures led to the loss of billions of dollars in assets. This became a problem because as people were losing their jobs and the value of the dollar was going down the debt that people had accumulated stayed the same. With the Bank Run and falling value of the dollar, the first ten months of 1930 744 US banks failed. The bank failures became worse when the banks tried collecting on the loans but the people could not pay them back in time. This caused banks not to want to give out as many loans or even have loans at all. This really slowed down the economy.
