Book Review: John Kenneth Galbraith Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1988 The most memorable and noteworthy event in economic history was the stock market crash in October, 1929. This event plunged the nation into a ten year depression unlike any seen before or since. There are many theories of how such a devastating sequence of events could have occurred as well as many theories on who, exactly, allowed it happen. Blame has been placed on many factors, none of which alone could have caused the crash and depression, but when you consider all of the events leading up to the crash, it is amazing that next to nothing was done to stop or at least to mitigate the effects of the crash and the resulting depression. John Kenneth Galbraith in The Great Crash, 1929 carefully describes the state of the economy leading up to 1929 and he then provides in depth analysis of that year by chronicling the events and the inherent weaknesses in the economy that led to the disaster. In October, 1929, the feeding frenzy on Wall Street came to an end; investors starting selling and prices started falling. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their life savings. As bad as it was, the crash should not have led to such a major depression. According to Galbraith, five weaknesses in the economy in 1929 appear to have had a great impact how deep of a depression the stock market crash caused.1

The Depression itself resulted from disruptions to international trade and faulty government economic policies before and after the downturn came. Curiously, even though government policies had much to do with both bringing on the Depression and making it more severe, the economic crises of the early 1930s became grounds for greatly expanding the role of the government in American economic life.

Gigs’ Home “The Stock Market Crash of 1929, The Great Depression, and The Founding of AIER.” “Although our very long time readers know the story, more recent subscribers to AIER's publications may be interested to learn that this Institute's very existence owes in part to its founder's appreciation of the uncertain relationship between the behavior of the stock market and the overall economy. As a junior military officer in the Army Corps of Engineers stationed in Hawaii in the early 1920s, a seriously bored Lieutenant E.C. Harwood began an avocational study of economics. This soon led him to challenge prevailing views of the "roaring 20s", most especially the widespread confidence in the money-credit system, which he deemed severely distorted. In 1928 and 1929, shortly before he joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an Associate Professor of military science, he published several articles in leading financial journals warning that the speculative "boom" then underway was attributable primarily to an excessive creation of purchasing media (i.e., inflating the money supply) that could not be sustained

The events in the United States triggered a world-wide depression, which led to deflation and a great increase in unemployment. On the global scale, the market crash in the USA was a final straw in an already shaky world economic situation. Germany was suffering from hyperinflation of currency, and many of the Allied victors of World War I were having serious problems paying off huge war debts. In the late 1920s the American economy at first seemed immune to the mounting troubles, but with the start of the 1930s it crashed with startling rapidity. The nation’s economy had thus been showing some signs of distress for months before October 1929. Business inventories of all kinds were three times as large as they had been a year before (an indication that the public was not buying products as rapidly as in the past); and other signposts of economic health—freight carloads, industrial production, wholesale prices—were slipping downward.

THE PROGRESSIVE PERIOD (1900-1945) Economics Technology. The progressive movement led the nation into a new era based on high-minded social goals, scientific innovation, and more regulation by federal and state governments. Human welfare continued to improve during this period and wealth was more equally distributed throughout society as labor organized and as the federal government increasingly regulated big business. With help from the Civil Service Act of 1883, which required appropriate technical expertise for government employees, the federal government became more actively involved in natural resource development and management, especially of forest, range, and water resources. The completion of the Panama Canal in 1909 was an unprecedented engineering accomplishment of immense benefit. It became a model for many other large government water resources projects and public works. Technology advanced at a tremendous rate. Many improvements were made in metallurgy, mechanics, building materials, and farm practices leading to larger, stronger, more efficient, and safer ways to manage, extract, move, refine, and otherwise develop natural resources. Invention of the radio greatly expanded interstate communication. Advances based on the internal combustion engine, motorized flight, and electric generators lead to public pressure on government to assure that appropriate infrastructure was developed to facilitate interstate commerce. Automobile manufacturers, led by Henry Ford, developed mass production. In 1908, the Model T Ford became the first car affordable to the middle class. Automobile ownership became as much a part of American aspiration as owning a home. Highways improved markedly with the paving of the U.S. highway system. The first hard-surface road crossed the continent in 1913. People began to "motor" across the country and fresh farm goods became widely available as a trucking industry burgeoned. Many new products were now ordered cost-effectively through national catalogs and shipped via rail and truck to local retailers or directly to the home.

Having just lived through the crash of the dot-com stocks, I thought it was a particularly appropriate moment to reread John Kenneth Galbraith's famous history of the stock market crash of 1929 in the United States. Professor Galbraith's final words prove to be prophetic as he suggests that as soon as the lessons of 1929 are forgotten, the speculative excesses that led to that debacle will recur. I am sure that when the dot-bomb experience is forgotten, it will be repeated with some new class of speculation in some future generation. With the recent experience of seeing a market mania, I came away more impressed with this book than before. Professor Galbraith does a fine job of capturing the psychology that builds into and sustains a mania. He also writes like a novelist rather than like an economist. That talent makes the message easy to grasp and appreciate.

"DOES 1987 EQUAL 1929?" Eric Gelman The New York Times pp.1,34 October 20, 1987 As stock prices soared this year, a chorus of pessimists warned that 1987 was looking more like 1929, when a stock market crash helped to usher in the Great Depression. Yesterday, after a plunge reminiscent of the worst days of 1929, one pressing question was whether the aftershocks would be as devastating to individuals and the nation. The quick answer, many economists say, is no. The huge losses on Wall Street constitute a substantial blow to the economy at large. But there are many safeguards in place today some instituted directly in response to the Depression that would tend to prevent the cascading financial collapse that characterized the crash, impoverishing millions of Americans. "A stock market crash doesn't ripple out into the economy with the same force" as it did in 1929, said Geoffrey H. Moore, director of the Center for International Business Cycle Research at Columbia University. To be sure, there are some unsettling similarities between the current era and the pre-Depression years.

The worst disaster in American economic history began in October 1929. This gallery puts the Great Depression in historical context and details Hoover's early response to the crisis. Disaster in the Making As early as 1925, then-Secretary of Commerce Hoover had warned President Coolidge that stock market speculation was getting out of hand. Yet in his final State of the Union Address, Coolidge saw no reason for alarm. "No Congress...ever assembled has met with a more pleasing prospect than that which appears at the present time"...said Coolidge early in 1929. "In the domestic field there is tranquility and contentment...and the highest record of prosperity in years." Al Smith's campaign manager, General Motors executive John J. Raskob, agreed. In an article entitled "Everybody Ought to be Rich" Raskob declared, "Prosperity is in the nature of an endless chain and we can break it only by refusing to see what it is." President-elect Hoover disagreed. Even before his inauguration he urged the Federal Reserve to halt "crazy and dangerous" gambling on Wall Street by increasing the discount rate the Fed charged banks for speculative loans. He asked magazines and newspapers to run stories warning of the dangers of rampant speculation.

He said security steps are in place to prevent that from happening again. Mr. Moreau said from Civil War times, when the New York Stock Exchange was only open periodically, until the 1920s there were no provisions in place to protect the market.

A family, poverty stricken by the Great Depression, stands outside their NVA Project home in Carson City, Nevada Prior to the Great Depression, this nation's leaders, in general, did not intervene in the running of, or issues associated with, business. In fact, prior to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration, the United States' government operated according to laissez-faire economics. Laissez-faire economics, by definition, does not allow for federal intervention in the affairs of business. Laissez-faire economists believe that a national economy is self-regulating - that competition itself will regulate sales, prices, and therefore balance the economy. This 'invisible hand' of the economy is the basis of the laissez-faire theory. Herbert Hoover, the President as the Great Depression unfolded, was a laissez-faire economist. It was his belief that it was not the place of the government to interfere in business transactions. President Hoover was hesitant to intervene, despite the American economy's cries for action. President Herbert Hoover is sometimes said to have been the cause of the Great Depression. His indecision and lack of action has earned him the role of scapegoat for the Great Depression. However, a close look a history, and the American situation at the time of the Depression would prove that, despite popular belief at the time, President Hoover did not cause the Great Depression.

The Great Depression The Great Depression was a pivotal event in 20th century economics. It also had a great impact in other areas as well. Here are some activities to use when teaching about this particular period of history. 1. If you are not covering history in chronological order, you may wish to do a short lesson on the precursors for the Great Depression, in particular the years immediately following World War One and the “Roaring Twenties.” 2. Brainstorm an information list of what you know about the stock market. Also list questions that you would like to find the answers to about the stock market. 3. Once you’ve brainstormed what you know about the stock market, cover information on how it works, the parties involved, anything that will increase the understanding of the stock market. Then hypothesize what role the stock market could have played in the Great Depression. 4. Compare/contrast the stock market crash of 1929 with the 500 point drop in the stock market in 1987. How were they different? How were they similar? Why didn’t a depression ensue after the drop in 1987? 5. What changes were made after the 1929 stock market crash that prevented the same results from happening after the 1987 drop?
