Q & A
What is the significance of the 1929 stock market crash?
-The 1929 stock market crash, also known as Black Tuesday, marked the beginning of the Great Depression, a severe and prolonged world economic crisis that lasted nearly 25 years.
How does a stock market crash differ from an economic crisis?
-A stock market crash is a sudden and sharp decline in stock prices, often affecting a single country. An economic crisis, however, is a broader and more prolonged downturn affecting the entire economy, including employment, production, and trade.
What is a speculative bubble and how does it relate to the 1929 crash?
-A speculative bubble is a situation where asset prices rise far above their intrinsic value due to excessive speculation. The 1929 crash was a result of the bursting of such a bubble, where the inflated stock prices suddenly dropped, causing a market crash.
What is the role of a stock exchange in an economy?
-A stock exchange serves as an intermediary between companies seeking capital and investors looking to invest. It facilitates the buying and selling of shares and bonds, and is a key tool in liberal economies for capital allocation and economic growth.
What is a share and how does it function in a company's financing?
-A share represents a portion of ownership in a company. When a company issues shares, it allows investors to buy a stake in the company, providing the company with capital. Investors may earn dividends if the company performs well and can also benefit from the increase in share value.
How do bonds differ from shares as a form of investment?
-Bonds are debt securities where the investor lends money to the company, which promises to pay back the principal along with interest. Shares, on the other hand, represent ownership in a company, and investors earn dividends and capital gains based on the company's performance.
What was the role of the 'call loan' system in the 1929 stock market crash?
-The 'call loan' system allowed investors to buy stocks on margin, using borrowed money. This practice led to a speculative bubble and increased the vulnerability of the market. When the bubble burst, many investors were unable to meet their margin calls, leading to a massive sell-off and the stock market crash.
Why did the stock market crash in 1929 have such a far-reaching impact?
-The 1929 stock market crash had a domino effect on the global economy. As the U.S. economy contracted, banks failed, and unemployment soared, the demand for goods and services dropped. This led to a ripple effect, causing economic downturns in other countries that were connected through trade and finance.
What measures did President Franklin D. Roosevelt implement to combat the Great Depression?
-President Roosevelt introduced the New Deal, a series of programs and policies aimed at providing relief, recovery, and reform. This included public works projects to employ the jobless, financial reforms to stabilize the banking system, and social security measures to protect the vulnerable.
How did the Great Depression affect Europe, and what was the role of American capital in post-war reconstruction?
-The Great Depression had a significant impact on Europe, exacerbating economic hardships and political instability. American capital played a crucial role in post-war Europe by providing the necessary funds for reconstruction, which helped to revive the European economy and stabilize the political landscape.
What is the significance of the term 'Black Tuesday' in the context of the 1929 stock market crash?
-Black Tuesday refers to October 29, 1929, the day when the stock market crash reached its peak and stock prices plummeted. It symbolizes the worst day of the crash and is often used to represent the beginning of the Great Depression.

the snag and economic crisis do not always have the stock market the origin of the subprime crisis in
2008, for example, is linked to the bursting of a real estate speculative bubble in the united states
what is mud there is first of all a company that needs money to
operate sometimes a person a family is not rich enough to be the sole
owner of these companies it then decides to break up into several
ownership shares they are called shares a share is a share of ownership of the company
these are therefore shares investors who are looking to invest their money they can buy shares
when he buys a share he buys part of the company the set of
investors is called the shareholding this share gives the right to a share of the profits
that we call the dividend if the company does good business the share will increase
in value but the reverse is also true a bond another stock market security allows
companies to have money without losing control a bond c t is therefore a
debt of the company which can also be purchased by investors at this
time with a bond an investor earns interest annually the place where
these transactions are carried out is called love [Applause] [Music] a stock exchange is
thus an intermediary between companies and investors it is a tool it is a
key tool liberal economies it is a facilitator which is little regulated
if we schematize the economy we find Mr. Madam Everybody with companies there there are
links a salary a job the companies produce materials pay salaries to
their employees with this money an employee can save to consume there are also loans
that can be made by the companies and the creation of debt money the money creation
is quite complex but banks create debt money which then goes
to savers for example to buy a house generates interest for companies for
their activities it can happen that a flourishing economy has too much capital in this case there
this economy places this capital outside the country and that is good because europe needs
capital to rebuild itself after the war and this is how american capital
will be placed in europe in the 1920s they will be useful for reconstruction
after miller the american economy is in great shape in a world which is badly affected by
the war in 1926 a system of loan facilitated to invest in the stock market is created
by the american banks which is called the clown the column forms a speculative bubble

everything is ready during the summer of 1929 the new york stock exchange s' racing when
activities usually slow down with summer in September when

shares at the same time and thus lower prices as many are in summer with the clown the
panic swells far too much want to sell to reassure if the bank decides to create
a fund to buy back the shares that investors are selling en masse the fall is halted at the
end of the day there is a reassuring message from the banks and the government the future is stable
gold and nothing is resolved we have to wait until Monday October 28 at the end during the day on
Monday the fund created to buy back the shares is exhausted there are no more buyers but
worried investors continue to sell en masse the prices fall again at the end of the day you
can't really see it on Monday it's it was especially the next day when the stock market reopened
that the disaster happened it was black tuesday october 29, 1929 nothing could stop the collapse
of prices on the new york stock exchange the term crack appeared in the german press the
following three months the new york stock exchange loses half of its value it brings with it
the bankruptcy of banks more companies the whole economy this paralyzes few europeans are worried
at this time in the first months the crisis is seen as exclusively internal to the
united states some even hear that the collapse of the american stock market will benefit europe
if we resume the circular diagram the stock market crash immediately ruins small
investors they have less money they stop consuming they cannot no longer face
bank maturities the banks exposed with the clown lose the money that their customers can no
longer reimburse them my available money they no longer lend either to individuals or
to companies companies overvalued during the speculative bubble lose the confidence of
banks they have to reduce production layoffs maybe go bankrupt unemployment
increases the whole circular economy stops the whole economy paralyzes in a few months

it is an injection of money which allows companies to reengage to have again the
confidence of the banks with the wages the people can again consume
and thus all the economic machinery can restart
on the diagram everything seems easy but in reality it will have been necessary to wait until November
1954 to find economic values ââidentical to October 29 at the new
york stock exchange if the new deal enabled the united states to emerge from the crisis many countries will
order military equipment in the 1930s rearmament is also a way
