<h2>Answer:  "buying on margin"</h2>

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.

People need to have _____ in the economy to spend money.
kotegsom [21]
Purchasing power is required in order for someone to spend money. Purchasing power means that someone has the ability to purchase something (a product or service). Having confidence is not enough to allow you to purchase something. You can't walk into a store with no money or goods to barter and walk out with the product or service. Less disposable income is more likely to lead to less purchasing power. In order to purchase something, you need to give up something in order to get what you want, generally you give up money. If you don't have something you can easily give up, like money, you have less disposable income.
