Through the course of the 1920s american stock market

Through the course of the 1920s, American stock market grew rapidly and attained its
peak by August 1929. However, by then there was a major decline in production and a rise in the
rate of unemployment. There was consequently a drop in the wage rate. This led to a fall in
demand for products and eventually a drop in the revenue collected. Therefore, there was a major
collapse in the economy of US.
There was a major decrease in the stock prices. The US experienced a major free fall in
the market and led to major loss of billions of dollars. Therefore, investors were wiped out
leading to a fall in the economy of US.
Americans were forced to sell their life savings and businesses. This is because loan
givers called in their loans and people scrambled to get money from whatever source. This made
the people lose confidence in the American market and without this, it is impossible to have a
firm economy. Therefore, this led to a major fall in the economy.
