Unit V: The 1920s Focus: The Stock Market Crash

“Everyone Ought to Be Rich” "Being rich is, of course, a comparative status. A man with a million dollars used to be considered rich, but so many people have at least that much these days, or are earning incomes in excess of a normal return from a million dollars, that a millionaire does not cause any comment... In my opinion the wealth of the country is bound to increase at a very rapid rate... Anyone who believes that opportunities are now closed and that from now on the country will get worse instead of better is welcome to the opinion—and whatever increment it will bring. I think that we have scarcely started... I am firm in my belief that anyone not only can be rich but ought to be rich...” -John Raskob, Ladies’ Home Journal (Aug 1929) Raskob: $15 a month in sound common stocks would grow to $80,000 in twenty years
