The Great Depression

The Great Depression

The Great Depression
 
    Though most Americans are aware of the Great Depression of 1929, 
which may well be "the most serious problem facing our free enterprise 
economic system", few know of the many Americans who lost their homes, 
life savings and jobs.  This paper briefly states the causes of the 
depression and summarizes the vast problems Americans faced during the 
eleven years of its span.  This paper primarily focuses on what life 
was like for farmers during the time of the Depression, as portrayed 
in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, and tells what the government 
did to end the Depression.

In the 1920's, after World War 1, danger signals were apparent 
that a great Depression was coming.  A major cause of the Depression 
was that the pay of workers did not increase at all. Because of this, 
they couldn't afford manufactured goods.  While   the factories were 
still manufacturing goods, Americans weren't able to afford them and 
the factories made no money (Drewry and O'connor 559).
