The booming economy led in 1929 to a backlog of business inventories which was three times larger than the year before. As a result a recession began in August 1929, two months before the stock market crash. During this two month period, production declined at an annual rate of
20 percent. This decline resulted in the stock market crash which began October 24, followed by Black Tuesday on October 29. Losses for the month amounted to $16 billion, an astronomical sum in those days.
1932 and 1933 were the worst years of the Great Depression. Industrial stocks lost 80 percent of their value since 1930. 10,000 banks failed , or 40 percent of the 1929 total. GNP fell 31 percent since 1929 and over 13 million Americans lost their jobs between 1929 and 1932. In 1933 unemployment did rise to 24.9 percent.
The desperation of many people and especially veterans from WW I resulted in spectacular events, the most dramatic the so-called Bonus marches in 1932.

- the welfare of the population is decreasing due the rise in price of imported goods and the relative high cost of domestic goods, the deterioration of the quality of domestic goods, and the restriction of the freedom of choice of consumers;
- the country will suffer large losses due to the non-use of the absolute and relative advantages of the international division of labor and exchange.
This is confirmed, in particular, by the fact that after the Second World War, the gradual removal of trade barriers, such as tariffs and quotas, stimulated growth and increased the level of welfare wherever this happened, partly due to the expansion of the choice of goods for the population at lower prices. More importantly, trade also had a powerful beneficial effect on productivity, that is, on the efficient use of world resources for the production of economic goods.
