796 words
Faulkner, William (1897 - 1962), American
novelist, known for his epic portrayal, in some 20
novels, of the tragic conflict between the old and

Alan Greenspan Federal Reserve
706 words
After the largest one day drop in the market in
history, the Federal Reserve took immediate steps
to increase the supply of liquidity in the market.
The goal was to prevent bankruptcies, which would
eventually hurt the real economy, by making loans
to the investors than were in danger of running
out of money. The strategy appeared to have
worked, and the Fed certainly earned it's title of
"lender of last resort." Policy makers themselves

Roosevelt Response To The Great Depression
1,581 words
The Great Depression of the 1930 s was a great
blow to America especially after the seeming
prosperity of the twenties. The depression was a
result not of false prosperity in the twenties,
although the distribution of wealth was very
uneven the affluence was very real, but rather
from a lack of economic and political maturity to
address the problems either before 1929 or as a
cure post 1929. The Great Depression is often seen
as a result of the twenties when rather it was a

Nazi Ideology Weimar Republic

Hitler became chancellor in January 1933. By March
he had full dictatorial power. There is no doubt
that the impact of the depression on the German
people gave way to the rise of Hitler. It was the
single most important factor of Hitler's coming to
power, however it wasnt the only factor. Hitler
had remarkable speaking abilities, which helped
him woo the public. His use of force with the SA
and the inability of the Left wing political
groups to combine, also contributed in his rise.

life was wicked and evil, whereas country and
village life were good (Sinclair 10). Later,
during the war, the idea of prohibition was a way
of keeping the count...
