Communism

A
  1. an ideology in which all means of production (factories, farms, etc.) and distribution (railways) were publicly owned. There would be no private or individual ownership of businesses or land
  2. a social and economic theory that property and production and distribution of goods and services should be owned by the public, and the labour force organized for the benefit of all.

Q

The Great Depression

A

●1929 ~ 1939
●A period of severe economic and social hardship, massive unemployment, and terrible suffering.
●The stock market crash contributed to the severity of the Depression, but did not cause it. There were several reasons for the Depression.
○Wheat prices fell; wheat farmers depended on foreign markets, but other countries were producing wheat
○Overproduction; more goods were being produced than sold. Manufacturers eventually began to cut back on production which led to layoffs, which led to less income, which led to less spending.
○High tariffs; United States imposed high tariffs on foreign goods coming into the country, with the intentions of protecting the US domestic market. This led to other countries raising their own tariffs in response and the high taxes caused a slowdown in world trade as opportunities for export shrank.
○WWI; Germany was unable to meet its financial obligations under the 1919 peace agreement. Germany’s economy was in ruins, and the reparations stunted its ability to recover. France and Great Britain were counting on Germany to pay back their own war debts owed to the US. The US was demanding repayment of these loans.
