文摘
Fourth causerevolves around trade declineand theUnitedStatesSmoot-Hawley Tariff Act13. Many economists argue that the sharp decline ininternational trade after 1930 helped to worsen the depression.This wasespecially true for countries which were dependent on foreign trade.
Most economists assign the 1930 American Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act part ofthe blame for worsening the depression by seriously reducing international tradeand causing retaliatory regulations in other countries. The average ad valorem14rate of duties on dutiable imports for 1921-1925 was 25.9% but under theSmoot-Hawley tariff it jumped to 50% in 1931-1935.
Purchases in USA
In the 1920s, in the United States household there was widespread use ofcredit to purchase businesses and factories and the use of home mortgagesIs andcredit purchases of automobiles, furniture and even some stocks, boostingspending. But this created consumer and commercial debt. People and firms thatwere deeply in debt when a price deflation occurred or demand for their productdecreased faced serious trouble——they risked default. Many people drastically cutcurrent spending to keep up time payments, thus lowering demand for newproducts. Firms began to fail as construction work and factory orders plunged.Massive layoffs occurred, resulting in unemployment rates of over 25%. Bankswhich had financed the debt began to fail as debtors defaulted on debt and bankdepositors became worried about their money and began massive withdrawals.
At its nadir, the Depression was a "Catch Twenty-Two" 16: Workers wereidle because firms would not hire them to work; firms would not hire workers towork because they saw no market for goods; and there was no market for goodsbecause workers had no work——no incomes to spend.
After the panic of 1929, and during the first 10 months of 1930, 744United States banks failed. In all, 9,000 United States banks failed during thedecade of the 1930s. By 1933, depositors saw $140 billion of their depositsdisappear due to uninsured bank failures. As bank failures snowballed desperatebankers tried calling in loans which the borrowers did not have time or money torepay. With future profits looking poor, capital investment and constructionslowed or completely ceased.
