cause of the depression
1) Over production: - Too much supply for demand - Initially this was good as companies stockpiled goods (inventory. However when inventory did not sell companies lost $ and stock value fell. 2) The Stock market: - People used borrowed $ to get a piece of the market. This is buying on the margin. - Over speculation inflated stock prices (increased demand for a limited product). When company’s profit reports fell short of the speculated gains stockowners began to sell, but there were no buyers. ↑ production = lower cost for products = lower sales price and ↑supply ↑ supply = ↓ demand = ↓profit = ↓ stock value ↓ stock value = Borrowed $ disappears → stock holder can make payments → banks close = peoples savings gone. Mass production and the Depression - Because companies were over producing their product would not sell therefore the company lost money, thus the stockholder lost money. - Stock holders (especially those who bought on the margin = borrowed cash) tried to sell their stock, BUT no one was buying. 3) Economic Nationalism: - As the recession grew worse the world government implemented tariffs to keep out foreign goods in the hopes that the protection would stimulate internal markets. - Problem: 1) The rest of the world closed their borders to Canadain goods hurting the resource sector exporting companies (more money lost on the stock market) 2) With the recession people did not have $ to spent on extras so the Multiplier effect was reduced 4) International Debt: - USA lost huge sums of $ as foreign economies faltered (i.e. Germany & Russia) - This made the US banks call foreign loans further deepening the recession - Banks lost more $ 5) Falling global wheat prices: - As wheat prices fell around the world Canadian farmers could no longer service their debts. Banks began foreclosing on the farm mortgages (Multiplier effect) 6) Primary resource dependence: - As the global markets faltered Canada was hit hard due to its dependence on primary resources. As people lost money the demand for Canadian resources dropped.
