Survey of Current Business October 1931 OCTOBER, 1931 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE WASHINGTON VOLUME II NUMBER 10 TRENDS Your records may not show them. Research does. TRENDS are not determined merely by studying your plant or your customers. Research traces the direction your industry is taking, not only in your own selling community but over the whole Continent, even the world; and indicates whether your organization can follow wherever the arrow points to greater sales, increased profits. THE SURVEY of CURRENT BUSINESS starts you at the first tee in your trail of trends with a summary of the current business situation and of developments in your field. It then follows through with specific data related to your own activities—prices, production, stocks, new orders, unfilled orders, exports, retail sales, employment, wages, and other basic figures. TRENDS thus trailed by facts lead to seasonal or permanent adjustments in your business; explorations into new territories; perhaps, new undertakings. Your records will show the results of this research—a larger net on your income statement, a greater surplus on your balance sheet.

Edward Fletcher, III* In this article, the author examines financial data from the 1929 crash and ensuing depression and compares it with financial data from the market decline of 1987 in an attempt to determine why the 1929 crash was followed by a depression but the 1987 decline was not. The author argues that the difference between the two events can be understood best as a difference between the existence of a "culture of financial information" in 1987 and the absence of such a culture in 1929.

    X-6737 TUB DISCOUNT RATE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD and THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK -1- November [1st approx., 1930. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in its Annual Report for the year 1929, stated: "For a number of weeks from February to May, 1929, the Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York voted an increase in the discount rate from 5% to 6%. This increase was not approved by the Board." Annual Report, Page 6. ~2~ The above statement makes clear the error of the prevailing view that the discount rate controversy lasted from February 14, 1929, - the date of the first application for increase in discount rates, - to August 9, 1929, the date of the Board's approval of the increase from 5% to 6%. The controversy began on February 14, 1929, but practically ended on May 31, 1929. On May 22, 1929, Governor Harrison and Chairman McGarrah told the Board that while they still desired an increase to 6%, they found that the member banks, under direct pressure, feared to increase their borrowings, and that they wanted to encourage them to borrow to meet the growing demand for commercial loans. 16 Diary 76 (69). Furthermore, on May 31, 1929, Chairman McGarrah wrote to the Federal Reserve Board that the control of credit without increasing discount rates Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis X-6737 - 2 - (direct pressure) had created uncertainty; that agreement upon a program to remove uncertainty was far more important than the discount rate; that in view of recent changes in the business and credit situation., his directors believed that a rate change now without a mutually satis- factory program, might only aggravate existing tendencies; that it may soon be necessary to establish a less restricted discount policy in order that the member banks may more freely borrow for the proper conduct of their business:; that the Federal reserve bank should be prepared to increase its portfolio if and when any real need of doing so becomes apparent.

  • Austerity and the Rise of the Nazi Party Gregori Galofré-Vilà, Christopher M
    Austerity and the Rise of the Nazi party Gregori Galofré-Vilà, Christopher M. Meissner, Martin McKee, and David Stuckler NBER Working Paper No. 24106 December 2017, Revised in September 2020 JEL No. E6,N1,N14,N44 ABSTRACT We study the link between fiscal austerity and Nazi electoral success. Voting data from a thousand districts and a hundred cities for four elections between 1930 and 1933 shows that areas more affected by austerity (spending cuts and tax increases) had relatively higher vote shares for the Nazi party. We also find that the localities with relatively high austerity experienced relatively high suffering (measured by mortality rates) and these areas’ electorates were more likely to vote for the Nazi party. Our findings are robust to a range of specifications including an instrumental variable strategy and a border-pair policy discontinuity design.

  • Lack of Economic Diversity the Economy Lacked Diversity
    CONFRONT THE ISSUE WHAT CAUSED THE GREAT DEPRESSION? What caused the Great Depression? Historians and economists have debated this question since the 1930s. In the popular imagination Wall Street speculation and the 1929 Stock Market Crash were to blame. The reality is more complicated. Most scholars believe a combination of long and short term factors led to the crisis. During the 1920s, America experienced an economic boom. But the boom was built on shaky foundations. Scroll down to learn more about the causes of the Great Depression. CONFRONT THE ISSUE WHAT CAUSED THE GREAT DEPRESSION? Lack of Economic Diversity The economy lacked diversity. Prosperity rested too heavily on a few basic industries, notably construction and automobiles. In the late 1920s, purchases in those industries declined and newer industries did not emerge to take up the slack. Photo below: Factories closed or reduced production. FDR Library Photograph Collection, NPx 65-593(57) CONFRONT THE ISSUE WHAT CAUSED THE GREAT DEPRESSION? Unequal Wealth Distribution Unequal wealth distribution undercut consumer demand. During the 1920s, the proportion of business profits going to workers as wages was too small to create an adequate market for the goods the economy was producing. In 1929, after nearly a decade of strong economic growth, more than half of American families lived near or below the minimum subsistence level. When they made major purchases, they did so on credit.

Unstable Banking System The banking system was unstable.
