In the 20's the U.S. was trying "to be the world's banker, food producer, and manufacturer, but to buy as little as possible from the world in return." This attempt to have a constant favorable trade balance wouldn't succeed for long. The U.S. maintained high trade barriers to protect American business, but the U.S. wouldn't buy from our European counterparts, so there's no way for them to buy from the Americans, or pay interest on U.S. loans. The weakness of the international economy certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Europe was reliant upon U.S. loans to buy U.S. goods, and the U.S. needed Europe to buy these goods to prosper. By the year 1929, 10% of American gross national product went into exports. When the foreign countries became no longer able to buy U.S. goods, U.S. exports fell 30% overnight. That $1.5 billion of foreign sales lost between 1929 to 1933 was fully one-eighth of all lost American sales in the early years of the depression.

Answer: D) Sacrifice the soundness of a decision in order to achieve interpersonal harmony
Explanation: Group thinking involves more and more diverse suggestions for solving a problem, as there are multiple different attitudes and views within the group. It can also mean many different possible solutions, so the option to choose the best ones. There may also be a situation where the objective best solution is often not chosen in order to reach a compromise among the members of the group, because in the group one must always count on vanities and egos. It can also lead to slow and often ineffective decision making until all the solutions offered are reviewed. However, the worst-case scenario is to intentionally sacrifice the right solution for the sake of interpersonal harmony. This means that the group essentially did not meet to find the best solution, but to treat the excessive vanities and egos of its members.
