The Depression

DON”T WRITE Great Depression in the United States, worst and longest economic collapse in the history of the modern industrial world, lasting from the end of 1929 until the early 1940s. Beginning in the United States, the depression spread to most of the world’s industrial countries, which in the 20th century had become economically dependent on one another.

Causes Big Business and Fading Industries Little government regulation By the end of the 1920s about 200 corporations controlled half the nation’s corporate wealth Little diversity in economy By 1929 the top 10% of the nation's population received 40% of the nation's disposable income Many in the US could not afford automobiles Decline in demand for American goods. (Tariffs discouraged trade) Lay off s caused further decline in consumer spending and production

Crisis in Agriculture WWI boosted agricultural production in wheat and corn. After WWI prices for wheat and corn dropped by 50% American farmers faced stiff competition from European markets Many farmers had taken out loans to buy new farm equipment. Many defaulted on the loans.

Hoover's Response A.Rejected direct relief (the dole) as undermining to character and rugged individualism B. Urged Americans to turn to community and church resources (Salvation Army, Community Chest, Red Cross) to meet needs of the poor C. Gradually used federal agencies to address issues 1. Met with business and labor leaders to reduce layoffs and strikes 2. Financed federal work projects, such as massive dams in the West (Boulder, Hoover, and Grand Coulee) 3. Set up RFC (Reconstruction Finance Corporation) in 1932 to make loans to stimulate economy in a "trickle-down" manner 4. Raised tariffs 33% by signing the Hawley-Smoot Tariff in attempt to keep foreign goods off the U.S. market.
