*Widespread unemployment and poverty in the 1930’s The Great Depression *Widespread unemployment and poverty in the 1930’s

CAUSES

*Gov. went back to “hands off” business after WWI Laissez-Faire Attitudes *Gov. went back to “hands off” business after WWI

Overproduction *Overproduction= underconsumption (too many goods, not enough buyers) *U.S. businesses earned record profits during 1920s and reinvested much of these funds into making more and more goods. *By 1929 companies had created a bubble. Workers could no longer continue to fuel this expansion in supply.

Stock Market Overspeculation *People buying stocks with the assumption that they can always be sold at a profit.

A stock represents partial ownership of a company (shares)

Credit *Many people buying things on margin= already in debt *Middle class Americans had already stretched their debt capacities by purchasing automobiles and household appliances on installment plans (buying on margin)

Stock Market Crash (1929) *Black Tuesday/Wall-Street Crash *4 day collapse of stock prices *Panic sell-off assets *Newspapers fanned the panic with articles about margin sellers, short-selling, and the exit of foreign investors.

Bank Runs = Bank Failures *People panic, run to withdraw savings, but banks don’t have all $$$ *Banks began to fail as debtors defaulted on debt

Banks need loan $$$ repaid People can’t repay loans because they have no $$$ Banks don’t have their $$$ (used for loans) People want their $$$

Smoot-Hawley Tariff *Very high tariffs (taxes on imports) *Buy only from US!=  International trade declined *Legislation passed in 1930 under President Hoover that established very high tariffs (taxes on imports). Its objective was to reduce foreign imports and stimulate the domestic economy, but it only angered other countries and drastically weakened international trade.

Federal Reserve *Central bank of the U.S. was unorganized and lacked tools to help banks *Raised interest rates too late *Deflation- Federal Reserve did not want to print more money even though people were hiding cash (money in circulation shrunk my 1/3rd)

EFFECTS

Unemployment *Unemployment rate rose above 25% *Workers were laid off en masse. As people lost their jobs, they were unable to keep up with paying for items they had bought through installment plans; repossessions and evictions were commonplace

*A line of people waiting to receive free food from gov. Breadlines *A line of people waiting to receive free food from gov. *POVERTY

*Slum shelters form outside of cities Hooverville (Shanty Town) *Slum shelters form outside of cities *Unplanned slum development on the outskirts of cities, dominated by crude dwellings and shelters made mostly of scrap wood, iron, and even pieces of cardboard.

The Dust Bowl *Poor farming techniques + drought= farmers suffer in Great Plains

Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) *Elected President in 1933 *New Deal programs created to save U.S. economy *3 R’s (Relief, Recovery, Reform)
