American Studies

The prosperity of the Roaring Twenties gave way to the despair of the Great Depression in 1929.  The first visible sign of a massive economic crisis was the Stock Market Crash of 1929.  How does a market "crash?"  Why does it matter?  We will examine these questions and others as we begin to discuss the complex causes of the Great Depression.

Assignment:  Read text 366-72 (handout on the causes of Depression)
