2 Dust bowl the dirty thirties lai P at e Gr ns { The dust bowl was due to poor farming management, drought and under consumption. Wind Erosion created HUGE dust storms that led to more severe problems later. 2

3 Cause #1: Speculation Americans bought stock to get rich Pull Business Profits increased in the 1920's To make money you need money. People borrowed it (margin) When the market decreased, loans were demanded to be repaid Black Tuesday 1929, every one went under and lost all or could not repay Cause #2: Banking Crisis Cause #3: Overproduction People Deposited extra money into banks In the 1920's we got the assembly line for mass production. Banks loaned money to businesses and charged interest More product = more profit (do you agree?) Black Tuesday 1929, no one could repay the banks, so they stopped loaning money Banks started to close so people lost faith and pulled all money out of banks By BT29, more products were available than people cold afford to buy 3

4 Cause #4: Many people in debt by 1929 and could not borrow more money Because no one was buying products companies cut workers. Pull Underconsumption During World War I, farmers had prospered by supplying food for American soldiers and people of war torn Europe. When the war ended those markets disappeared. Consumption of farm products decreased, causing prices to drop. Workers could not buy all foods farmers lost money and the banks took the farms Discussion: Why do you think underconsumption lead to a rise in unemployment? By the late 1920's, manufacturers cut back production. Many businesses decreased production or went bankrupt, both lead to unemployment for many workers. As industry declined, companies laid off workers. 4
