How did the unstable economy in the 1920s contribute to the Great Depression?

Sophie [7]3 years ago

In the 20's the U.S. was trying "to be the world's banker, food producer, and manufacturer, but to buy as little as possible from the world in return." This attempt to have a constant favorable trade balance wouldn't succeed for long. The U.S. maintained high trade barriers to protect American business, but the U.S. wouldn't buy from our European counterparts, so there's no way for them to buy from the Americans, or pay interest on U.S. loans. The weakness of the international economy certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Europe was reliant upon U.S. loans to buy U.S. goods, and the U.S. needed Europe to buy these goods to prosper. By the year 1929, 10% of American gross national product went into exports. When the foreign countries became no longer able to buy U.S. goods, U.S. exports fell 30% overnight. That $1.5 billion of foreign sales lost between 1929 to 1933 was fully one-eighth of all lost American sales in the early years of the depression.

Whom does inflation hurt the most?<br><br> producers<br><br> creditors<br><br> debtors
Elina [12.6K]

The correct answer would be option B, Creditors.

Creditors are the ones who are most hurt by inflation.

Explanation:

Inflation is the rise in the prices of goods and services. It is actually the depreciation in the value of money. Suppose if at one point of inflation, a product is purchased at $5, then if the inflation rises then the same product will now be purchased in say $6. This is how inflation affects the value of money.

The creditors who gave loans to others will be most affected by the increase in inflation, because they will receive the same amount of money back but with the decreased value of the money. Suppose, they gave $5000 loan to someone, and with the increase in inflation the value of money will decrease but they will still get the credited amount, which will be a loss for them.
