4. The Crash Of 1929 An essay on the events surrounding the financial crisis of October 1929 aka the Wall Street crash the stock market, there followed a depression. The crash of 1929 continues to be a fascinating example of panic in high finance and is still a staple of economics 101. http://www.btinternet.com/~dreklind/thecrash.htm

The Crash of 1929 On October 19 1987, the Dow-Jones industrial average suffered a major devaluation. The Dow lost over 500 points. Stock trading markets worldwide were all suffering similar declines. At the time, there was a lot of concern over what this meant to the overall economy of the world. The reason for this concern comes from the fact that the last time there was a large devaluation in the stock market, there followed a depression. Economists used a yardstick from the Jazz Age to evaluate this 'correction'; the yardstick was the crash of October 1929. The crash of 1929 continues to be a fascinating example of panic in high finance and is still a staple of Economics 101. This event involved all people, big and small, rich and poor, young and old. Everyone. Depressions, we are told, are cyclical in the nature of economics. In this era, we have successfully evaded depressions with the aid of computers, government regulation, and because we actually learned from history. The subject of this crash in 1929 has been studied and discussed many times over the years, by many economic authors. Most notable, in my opinion, would be John Galbraith. His book, "The Great Crash 1929", I heartily recommend if you are interested in the details of the crash and events leading up to it. It is a warning to us that our economic world will not always necessarily be safe. In 1929, even in 1928, the warnings of an economic disaster were heeded by some of the Wall Street denizens. It seems clear that everyone involved in the speculative boom of the late twenties knew that eventually stocks would drop. Who cares though? At the moment, we are in the business of making money. When the bulls are stampeding, it raises a cloud of dust that makes it hard to see danger. This boom of the 20s is almost as famous as the bust.

Revisiting The Stock Market Crash Of 1929 Revisiting the Stock Market crash of 1929 by Chuck Morse Boston's Conservative Radio Voice of Reason. accustomed to viewing the 1929 stock market crash and the depression that followed as an example of The insufferable shoptalk around the subject of economics causes us to tune http://www.chuckmorse.com/crash_of_1929.html

Revisiting the Stock Market Crash of 1929 By Chuck Morse We are accustomed to viewing the 1929 stock market crash and the depression that followed as being the fault of the capitalist system. Nothing could be further from the truth. The crash was caused as a result of our monetary system being converted from one in which Congress directly regulated the value and quantity of currency, and issued the currency debt free, to one where currency decisions would be made by a private cartel of banks known as the Federal Reserve which would assume the power to issue currency to the government as a debt instrument. The change occurred in Dec. 1913, the crash occurred 16 years later. Understanding the crash and depression requires a study in the nature of money, circulation, and credit. Understanding money is key to understanding the essence of private ownership and freedom. The manipulation of currencies by governments, usually working in tandem with central bankers, has been the primary cause of war, systemic poverty and social dislocation. What is money? Money has three properties. It is a means of exchange, a measure of value, and an instrument of savings. As an abstract commodity, money allows for an exchange of goods and services for individuals, groups, or nations. Historically, money has consisted of such things as beads; seashells, tobacco or tally sticks, but over centuries and millennia, the internationally accepted standard of money has become gold and silver. The use of money allows commerce and trade to occur without barter and, as such, money is the basis and engine of civilization. Even primitive man understood the need for money as a means of exchange. Sound money, which is money that maintains a consistent and dependable value, is the most fundamental building block of civilization.

NOTE: I suggest the following, very conservative, rules of thumb to assist in making comparisons with today's conditions. To compensate for the impact of inflation on prices, multiply all prices by 10. To compensate for the impact of inflation, plus the doubling of our population, plus the quadrupling of our economy per capita, multiply financial statistics by 80 when evaluating the impact of events on economic and financial markets. This may look strange when applied to commodity and consumer prices, but actually highlights the tremendous productivity advances of the last 70 years.

Reviewed for EH.NET by Robert Whaples, Department of Economics, Wake Forest University. whaples@wfu.edu "The motion of the economy, unlike that of heavenly bodies, conforms to no immutable mathematical laws and follows no repetitive patterns (p. 66)" David Glasner (economist at the Bureau of Economics, U.S. Federal Trade Commission) has assembled a stellar cast who have written an exceptionally useful reference book. Business Cycles and Depressions: An Encyclopedia includes 327 original articles on every major aspect of business cycles, fluctuations, financial crises, recessions, and depressions. The articles, which range from macroeconomic theory to econometrics to the historical record, are generally up-to-date, clear and to the point. Most entries will be accessible to students, but are informative enough to benefit almost any professional, as well. Each includes a bibliography. A seven-page appendix presents international data detailing business cycle turning points and durations. Perhaps the highlight of the volume is a ten-page entry, "Business Cycles" by Victor Zarnowitz, which surveys the entire field of business cycle research and is quoted above.

BUBBLES HOME FAMOUS FIRST BUBBLES? THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF 1929 After World War I the United States experienced an economic boom based on new technologies in products, production processes and firm management (e.g. General Motors and Ford in automobiles, RCA in electrical appliances). The boom was facilitated by the increased use of installment credit. In 1927 a short recession ended and industrial production jumped 25% until 1929. The US stock market boomed together with the economy and peaked in September 1929. On September 3 the index reached 381 compared to 1926=100. The stock market crashed in October 1929 (with frantic selling on Black Thurday October 24, Black Monday October 28, Black Tuesday October 29) and stock prices fell to 145 in November (-62%). In June 1932 stock prices reached their low at 34 (-91%). The usual and familiar accusations were made and have since been repeated. Speculators were 'evidently' responsible for driving stock prices away from their fundamental value, causing a bubble in the market. Speculators were aided by 'easy credit' from banks and stock-market brokers. Not just the stock market crash was blamed on speculators, but, even more, speculators and the stock market were blamed for the entire Great Depression. Fundamentals The fundamental value of stocks is the discounted present value of expected future dividends. Due to dividend smoothing and other considerations dividend payments usually lag earnings of firms. It is not surprising for example that during 1929 share prices of utility companies rose strongly, although most of these companies had not paid any dividends. Utility companies were seen to benefit from the expanding sale of electrical appliances and used their earnings to increase investment rather than distribute as dividends. RCA also did not pay dividends.

Course Outline Course Description This course is designed to provide a general introduction to the field of political economy and public policy. Index Course Objectives During the first part of the semester we will discuss the process by which the modern economy came into existence, and how economic thinking changed over time as the modern economy emerged. This process led to the rise of different "schools" of economic thought, and the debates between these schools – arguing from fundamentally different points of view – created the foundation for the critical economic debates of the late 20th/early 21st centuries. During the second part of the semester we will take up some of the most important economic issues that are currently being discussed and, in some cases, heatedly debated within the U.S. and throughout the world. This will include questions related to poverty, income and wealth inequality, globalization and changing (for many, worsening) working conditions, environmental destruction, economic issues tied to gender and ethnicity, debt and financial crises, and other key concerns. We will analyze different points of view regarding these issues and examine some of the evidence that each side presents. We will also consider the impact these debates have had on the creation of the public policies that affect all of our lives so directly.

15. Failure Analysis Of 20th Century Economics Appendix 1 Fall Of The Gold Standard The 'stock market crash' on October29, 1929 marked beginning of the 'Great depression of the 1930s'. http://www.ovaloffice.org/2000/a1gold.htm

Natural Law Thesis Appendix 1: Fall Of The Gold Standard The 'stock market crash' on October 29, 1929 marked beginning of the 'Great Depression of the 1930s'. The 'Great Depression of the 1930s' in the U.S. was caused by the 'private authority' over the U.S. 'central banking system', when that 'private authority' over the U.S. central banking system' called for 'repayment' of all 'money' (units of U.S. national currency) 'borrowed' during a period of time after World War I (1918-1929) - that is, all 'money' borrowed to purchase 'investment' in all 'private business structure' organizations in existence during that period of time. Capital stock could be purchased with as little as a 20% down payment (called 'margin') during the 'Roaring Twenties', giving that decade its name. All 'borrowed' money to purchase 'stock' drove stock market prices up, as dictated by the natural law of 'demand and supply'. Stock market prices are always inflated by borrowed money. The value of material assets simply did not exist to support the inflated stock market prices. The stock market crash caused destruction (or soaking up - like a sponge) of all national capital investment. Because of the unavailability of money, the major thrust of government policy to recover from the Great Depression was simply to print more money, to make money available. No one no longer had any assets to use as collateral to borrow money - all industrial assets had been wiped out on a national scale by bankruptcies and foreclosures because of the 'crash'.

More Opinion Thomas Sowell ( archive printer-friendly version July 24, 2002 Stock crash aftermath What can be even worse than a stock market crash including the great crash of 1929 are politicians rushing in to fix things. At one time, it was widely assumed that the 1929 crash led directly to the Great Depression that lasted throughout the decade of the 1930s. Now, more and more people who have studied that era have come to see what the government itself did to help as being the biggest reason why the depression went so deep and lasted so long. Even a liberal economist like John Kenneth Galbraith described the actions of the Federal Reserve in response to the 1929 crash as "shockingly incompetent." Neither Republican President Herbert Hoover or his Democratic successor Franklin D. Roosevelt had a clue about economics or a policy that made any sense. Both sought to keep prices including wages up, despite the fact that the money supply had declined by one third. How was the country supposed to buy all the output at existing prices, and employ all the workers at existing wages, when there was so much less money?
