History 17C The American People, World War I to the Present

The Great Depression and the “First New Deal”

Herbert Hoover entered presidency in early 1929 with stellar reputation and high expectations Themes

Before year was out, nation had been plunged into economic crisis that would destroy Hoover’s presidency and set stage for major political upheaval Themes

The Great Depression was rooted in the maldistribution of wealth in the United States

A very small number of people had too much money

... and a very large number had too little

The people with too little money did not have sufficient purchasing power to buy all the goods and services that were being produced

The wealthy, in effect, lending to the less well-off Credit Buying in the 1920s

Wall Street in the 1920s

October 1929

The Stock Market Crash left private investors unable, or unwilling, to keep investing in the US economy, resulting in massive business failures and job losses

Devastating impact of Great Depression

Worker and farmer militancy

President Herbert Hoover worked tirelessly to address crisis, but was hampered by own preference for limited government and voluntary measures by private sector

1932—Hoover created Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), which extended federal govt loans to private corporations; too little too late

“Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” 1932

They used to tell me I was building a dream And so I followed the mob When there was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always there right on the job They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead Why should I be standing in line Just waiting for bread?

“Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” 1932 Once I built a railroad, made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad, now it’s done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it’s done Brother, can you spare a dime?
