Business Cycle P. 143 in textbook

Underlying Causes Overproduction Purchasing stock/buying on margin. Purchasing on credit/high consumer debt Overdependence on primary industries High tariffs/limited trading partners Dependence on the U.S.A. for trade

Overproduction

Purchasing Stock/Buying On Margin Borrowing money to buy stocks At the time, needed only a 10% minimum downpayment

High Consumer Debt Buying on credit Many people were in debt

Overdependence on Primary Industries Canada’s economy was based heavily on primary industries These primary resources were then exported

High Tariffs/Limited Trading Partners Canada used tariffs to protect its own industry But this also meant narrowing its trade options with other countries

Dependence on the U.S.A. for trade At the time ~40% of Canada’s exports were to the USA (Now, 73%!) An economic crash in the U.S. inevitably affects Canada.
