ARCHIVES :: NOVEMBER 2002 :: COVER STORY Seeds of the 1929 Crash Buying on Credit Helped To Fuel an Economic Boom Until It Got Out of Control By KAREN BLUMENTHAL Staff Reporters of The Wall Street Journal Americans’ taste for consumer products is sustaining the economy through recession and weakness, and will be crucial to a recovery. But what would happen if consumers suddenly found themselves neck-deep in debt? Karen Blumenthal. Click here to order. For some idea of the answer, turn back the clock to the early 20th century, when consumers got their first sense of the benefit of borrowing a little now for gain in the future—and saw firsthand how devastating too much debt could be. Patriotic Duty The seeds of America’s love affair with loans were planted during World War I, when the nation needed money to finance its missions overseas. Politicians and top businessmen encouraged ordinary people to buy Liberty Bonds to help their country. The bonds were essentially a loan to the U.S. government, which paid 4% a year in interest until the debt was paid back. Respected leaders urged patriotic citizens to stretch a little and borrow money so they could buy a larger bond.

About us October 29, 2001 Remember...The 1929 Stock Market Crash The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 230. The Dow, which hit a high of 386 in September, 1929 reached the same level only in November, 1954. In July, 1932, the Dow dropped to 40.56. An article on the website of the foundation for economic education says, "The genesis of the Great Depression lay in the inflationary monetary policies of the US government in the 1920s. It was prolonged and exacerbated by a litany of political missteps: trade-crushing tariffs, incentive-sapping taxes, mind-numbing controls on production and competition, senseless destruction of crops and cattle, and coercive labor laws, to recount just a few. It was not the free market that produced twelve years of agony; rather, it was political bungling on a scale as grand as there ever was." Around seven decades after the crash, the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan said, "While bubbles that burst are scarcely benign, the consequences need not be catastrophic for the economy. It was not the crash, but ensuing failures of policy that led to the Great Depression. He seemed confident that he could prevent similar errors if there were another crash, and recalled how the economy had not been devastated by the 1987 crash.

The Library of Congress home Overview Topics Wife of a Migratory Laborer Photographs from the FSA-OWI, The widespread prosperity of the 1920s ended abruptly with the stock market crash in October 1929 and the great economic depression that followed. The depression threatened people's jobs, savings, and even their homes and farms. At the depths of the depression, over one-quarter of the American workforce was out of work. For many Americans, these were hard times. The New Deal, as the first two terms of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidency were called, became a time of hope and optimism. Although the economic depression continued throughout the New Deal era, the darkest hours of despair seemed to have passed. In part, this was the result of FDR himself. In his first inaugural address, FDR asserted his "firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itselfnameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror." As FDR provided leadership, most Americans placed great confidence in him. The economic troubles of the 1930s were worldwide in scope and effect. Economic instability led to political instability in many parts of the world. Political chaos, in turn, gave rise to dictatorial regimes such as Adolf Hitler's in Germany and the military's in Japan. (Totalitarian regimes in the Soviet Union and Italy predated the depression.) These regimes pushed the world ever-closer to war in the 1930s. When world war finally broke out in both Europe and Asia, the United States tried to avoid being drawn into the conflict. But so powerful and influential a nation as the United States could scarcely avoid involvement for long.

October The stock market crashes, marking the end of six years of unparalleled prosperity for most sectors of the American economy. The "crash" began on October 24 (Black Thursday). By October 29, stock prices had plummeted and banks were calling in loans. An estimated $30 billion in stock values "disappeared" by mid-November. November "Any lack of confidence in the economic future or the basic strength of business in the United States is foolish."President Herbert Hoover March More than 3.2 million people are unemployed, up from 1.5 million before the "crash" of October, 1929. President Hoover remained optimistic however stating that "all the evidences indicate that the worst effects of the crash upon unemployment will have passed during the next sixty days." November The street corners of New York City are crowded with apple-sellers. Nearly six thousand unemployed individuals worked at selling apples for five cents apiece. January Texas congressman Wright Patman introduces legislation authorizing immediate payment of "bonus" funds to veterans of World War I. The "bonus bill" had been passed in 1924. It allotted bonuses, in the form of "adjusted service certificates," equaling $1 a day for each day of service in the U.S., and $1.25 for each day overseas. President Hoover was against payment of these funds, saying it would cost the Treasury $4 billion. February "Food riots" begin to break out in parts of the U.S. In Minneapolis, several hundred men and women smashed the windows of a grocery market and made off with fruit, canned goods, bacon, and ham. One of the store's owners pulled out a gun to stop the looters, but was leapt upon and had his arm broken. The "riot" was brought under control by 100 policemen. Seven people were arrested.

Economic History Among the major reasons for the Great Depression were overproduction, restrictive trade policy, speculation in the stock market based on buying stock on credit, problems with the banking system, and tax policy. What began as a mild recession following a lengthy period of economic expansion soon became a depression. By the 1930s the amount of money in circulation had drastically decreased.

Trade Issues What Caused The '29 Crash And Great Depression? Today marks the 70th anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929. There is still no consensus on causes of the crash or its relationship to the Great Depression. These are still important questions because many of the suggested causes are still relevant today. Take the Smoot-Hawley tariff on imported goods: Protectionists argue that it could not have affected the stock market because the law was not passed until 1930. However, much of the legislative activity took place in 1929, and markets quickly capitalize any policy that will affect future profits. Economist Douglas Irwin argues that because many of the tariff increases were specific monetary amounts, deflation had the effect of increasing their real effect by 30 percent. He concludes that Smoot-Hawley was responsible for at least 40 percent of the decline in imports after 1930. Another factor was the Federal Reserve's over-reliance on low inflation (price stability) as the main indicator of the correctness of monetary policy. Stable prices could disguise underlying economic imbalances caused by monetary policy. During most of the 1920s, Fed policy was too easy; it turned sharply tighter in the late 1920s and remained tight throughout the 1930s until World War II.
