Answer:   Investors and banks were involved in buying huge amounts of stocks with borrowed money.

Explanation:

There was much speculative buying on the stock market in "the Roaring '20s," as the decade was known.  In the 1920s, people were so eager to invest and earn profits through the stock market that they bought stocks "on margin."  In other words, they paid for only a marginal percentage of the stocks with their own funds, and borrowed bank funds for the rest of the purchase.  That meant the banks were complicit in this arrangement too, by allowing those sorts of loans. By the late 1920s, 90% of the purchase price of stocks was being made with borrowed money.  This inflated the market in a way that spiraled out of control, and in 1929 the market crashed.

REFLECT! John Green stated that it might have been better if the Persians beat the Greeks. Do you agree with him? Why or why not
Trava [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I do not agree with what John Green said.

John Green stated that it might have been better if the Persians beat the Greeks. His arguments were that the Persian life was not bad. Persians ruled prosperous cities. And he comments that life was not easy in ancient Greece if you were a woman or a slave.

Of course, Greece was not perfect and had many issues. But the Persia Empire also had its many issues too.

I think it was good that Greece won the Persian Wars. The Greek victory established a foundation of a classical time in which Greece "exported" the idea of democracy to other states, as well as the philosophical ideas of great thinkers of Athens. Arts, literature, sculpture, and architecture were other important Greek influences that transcended the test of time.
