economic disaster of our time. While this fact is
accepted throughout the world, a specific cause to
this disaster remains a mystery. Maybe there is no

recession. Overproduction, World War I, and the
banking system were all origins of the Great
Depression. Thanks to the roaring twenties,
consumers of the late twenties were very
