- Economy Effects of the great depressions
- During the first five years of the depression, the economy shrank 50%.
- In 1929, economic output was $105 billion, as measured by gross domestic product.
- The economy began shrinking in August 1929. By the end of the year, 650 banks had failed.
2. Political
- The Depression affected politics by shaking confidence in unfettered capitalism.
- That type of laissez-faire economics is what President Herbert Hoover advocated, and it had failed.
- As a result, people voted for Franklin Roosevelt. His Keynesian economics promised that government spending would end the Depression.
- The New Deal worked. In 1934, the economy grew 10.8% and unemployment declined.
3.Social
- To make things worse, prices for agricultural products dropped to their lowest level since the Civil War.
- As farmers left in search of work, they became homeless.
- Almost 6,000 shantytowns, called Hoovervilles, sprang up in the 1930s.
- Wages for those who still had jobs fell 42%. Average family incomes dropped 40% from $2,300 in 1929 to $1,500 in 1933.
- That's like having income fall from $32,181 to $20,988 in 2016
