Great Depression Causes

Discover why the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties couldn’t last, and how people’s spending and saving habits made a financial crisis inevitable. Find out why the 1920s weren’t so roaring for all Americans, particularly farmers. Finally, learn the difference between a recession and a depression, and what strategies the Federal Reserve and our government rely on to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of 1929.
