Answer

Overproduction and under-consumption factored into causing the Great Depression by causing falling prices on goods.

Explanation

when we talk about over production this means that goods and services are being produced at a very high rate causing the accumulation of unused products and services. it may be caused by improved techniques and growth in technology. A good example is in farming where due to improved techniques, farmers are able produce a lot of harvests. This may may lead to economy of the country collapsing.

under-consumption is a state where the purchase or the consumption of goods and services is lower than the production and supply.Meaning that there is shortage of consumers.
