Great Depression Causes and Effects Day 2

Why did the Stock Market crash? ? ? ● Unequal distribution of wealth ● Buying consumer goods on installment plans ● Overproduction ● Loss of export sales ● Federal Reserve mistakes ○ Did not raise interest rates during bull market ○ Raised them AFTER depression hit ■ made it harder to get a loan

Overproduction Chart (example) Assembly Line = more cars made (people that need cars buy them, tons of cars left over) Waiting for cars to sell, less are being made, less rubber/steel/oil/gas being bought Even fewer cars to be sold - people cannot afford it unless they take out a loan Layoffs, lower wages Slow down of industry, less jobs needed

Effects on People ● Business failures ● Unemployment ● Losing everything due to payment plans (installment buying) ○ Houses, cars, etc. What do you think was the biggest long term impact and why?

Families had to use all of the resources around them. . . like cooking with weeds, as this sweet lady shows us how.

At the beginning of the crash, the wealthy had not been affected yet. Under Hoover the government looked to the people to help each other. Laissez-faire. . . means “little to no intervention from the government”, how do these images reflect that term?
