Ch 22 Sec 4 – The 1920’s
Economy
• I can understand the
problems that
threatened the
economy in the
1920’s
Ch 22 Sec 3
• Although the economy looked
good, something was not right.
1. Stock market boom
2. Heavy purchasing
3. Rural poverty
4. Unemployment
Industrial Growth
• More new products to buy
Washing machines
Vacuum cleaners
Radios
Toasters
Cars
• High supply = low price
Industrial growth
• People buy on credit
• High taxes (tariffs) on
imports
• Tax cuts for the wealthy
• Economy stimulated but is
there a problem?
• Reckless spending
The Stock Market
What is the stock market?
• 1920’s – Bull Market
• Value rises
• People buy on margin
What is margin?
TROUBLE!!!
• During WW I farmers
borrowed money to
increase production
• After war, markets shrank
• Farmers going broke
MORE TROUBLE!!!
• Some companies give
employees vacations and
pensions
BUT
• Factory work is unskilled
• Lower pay
• High unemployment
MORE REPUBLICANS
• First Harding – Who died
• Then Coolidge
• Then Hoover, who promised
“A chicken in every pot and a car
in every garage”
• Hoover loses city vote but wins
in rural areas
CONCLUSION
•DO YOU SEE
ANY
PROBLEMS?
