The countryside was affected by an overproduction crisis and farmers suffered a substantial reduction in their profits. Speculation not only affected the stock market, it also extended to areas such as the second home: there were areas, such as Florida, that were the prey of an unprecedented real estate boom. The houses were bought and sold with the sole purpose of obtaining quick profits and their prices doubled or tripled in just a few months.
