This means that the prices for stock were too high, far higher than they were really worth, then they fell drastically. People who had borrowed money to buy high-priced stocks (intending to sell the stocks at a profit and repay lenders), went bankrupt. That’s further expounding on what I said about buying on margin. Black Tuesday also marks the beginning of the great depression (Regan3). Living conditions during this time were unsanitary and horrible.
Perhaps the worst economic downturn in the history of the United States occurred from 1930-1939. The Great Depression led to domestic and international crises effecting the poor and wealthy alike. Many financial experts today continue to debate the cause of The Depression, although most agree that several events led to the economic decline. The famous stock market crash on October 29, 1929 is just one of many causes economists believe led to The Great Depression. Known also as Black Tuesday, October 29th left stockholders shattered with recorded losses reaching $40 billion dollars (Kelly, n.d.).
The middle class was nearly non-existent. This occurs often in the world, but the Great Depression was the worst economic downfall in the history of the U.S. It spread and affected all of the industrialized world. The depression began with Black Tuesday, and lasted for nearly a decade. According to Paul Alexander Gusmorino, the main cause of the drastic downfall was the combination of unequal distribution of wealth and the extensive stock market speculation that took place in the later years of that decade.
The Nazi’s were not in a position to manage an electoral support. Then at the perfect time for the Nazi’s, the Wall Street Crash came in 1929. This compounded existing weaknesses in the economy. The loans and investments dried up and this was quickly followed by demands for the repayment of those short-term loans. The crisis also caused a decline in exports and productions as the demand for exports collapsed and the world trade slumped for Germany.
The first big issue is the fact this time period is predominantly remembered as the “Great Depression.” The Great Depression began on October 29th, 1929 with the crash of the stock market in the United States. With stocks worth nothing, and a collapsing banking system the U.S. fell into a serious state of emergency. “The New Deal” had been put into effect by 1933 and had been putting a little giddy-up back into the economy. But by 1937, with the curbed spending by FDR and savings again on the rise, the economy and American lives took a second downturn and was referred to as the depression of 1937 I believe. As a business owner, people faced a lot of trauma in each major industry in Oregon.
Then finally on October 29,1929th the stock market crashed, because no one was buying and this directly led to the Great Depression. After the Stock market crashed not even 2 months later, the stock holders had lost more than forty billion dollars. Though the market had once again began to come of its losses back by the end of 1930, it was not enough and America entered what we now know as The Great Depression. After the stock market

Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Success of His New Deal The American economy started weakening by the middle of the1920s. However, over investment and speculating in stocks inflated their prices that contributed to the delusion of a robust economy. Since stocks were the hottest commodity to invest in, people borrowed money and used their stocks as collateral to the banks.The Great Depression was considered started on Black Thursday October 24th, 1929 when the New York Stock Exchange collapsed in the greatest market crash with the Dow closed at 316.38, and the plunge continued until the Dow reached its low of 41.22 in 1932. When the stocks values dropped, people were not able to pay for their debts while the banks just held worthless collaterals. Many banks declared bankruptcies because they could not get back their money from stock investors.
A Marxist would argue the same, but because of the underlying limitations (“leveling” by the people or a ruling power i.e. giving and taking of resources directed by an outside party) such high aspirations are not so easily achieved. Nor should items like wealth or power be actively sought for by the Marxist, because those are the evils that create inequality. The similarities between liberalism and Marxism economic views are important. Marx agreed with the liberal economic viewpoint that a free-market is “good” with benefits gained from competition.
Our generation is under heavy pressure than our parents or our grand-parents to achieve more in live. Unfortunately, to accomplish and such achievement, we sometime resort to being dishonest. We respect people in society that have done well, and conquered fame. So much pressure, it is not a surprise that people of all ages are dishonest. In our economy, only thing that matter is the result, it is not how we achieve the result but did we make the result at all cost.
