Abstract

"The Big Crash of '29," "a nation economically levelled overnight," "the Great Depression" are ideas which recall different images and memories to different persons. To all, however, it means a time of privation and suffering. And so traumatic was this experience for the United States that she needed ten years and a return to a war-time industry to put her back on her feet. As with all tragedies, everyone knew the reasons why as soon as it occured. But were there no danger signals before the Crash? Or, if there were, why were they not heeded?
