The chief causes of the Great Depression appear to have been (a) bad luck and (b) a strong attachment to the gold standard, a system of organizing international finance that proved truly disastrous in the 1930s. The stock market seems to have played little role in the Great Depression--although it did start it off with a bang--and to have fluctuated because it always fluctuates.

Any of a number of things could have brought the economy out of the Great Derpession much faster: devaluing the currency, expanding the money supply, or increasing the federal deficit. I don't think that another Great Depression is at all likely: we had one, and the Federal Reserve has spent a lot of time studying it. If it makes big mistakes, they will be original ones--not the same ones that led to the Great Depression

Hello! well I think J.P. Morgan (money mastermind, ruler of the universe) was to blame for the depression because its all about him! The world was all about him! He was to blame! Anyways, I don't want to answer anymore questions. But I will say this: we will experience a depression very soon! All the signs are there. If you have any questions or concerns don't send them to me....check the net(a world full of possibilities)....oh and did J.P. Morgan had something to do with the Titanic tragedy?
