    The depression had given rise to the worst crisis at the time in banking where almost 9,000 banks were shut down in a four year period. Ninety percent of small community banks failed because customers withdrew all the money from their accounts, resulting in massive decreases of the bank’s capital. With only ten percent of small community banks still in business it could be safely said that the banking industry had sunk almost as low as it could get. Clearly the banks were going to be blamed for the economic problems. Congressional hearings in early 1933 revealed huge irresponsibility on the part of these banks, which had used billions of dollars of depositors' funds to acquire stocks and bonds, and had made risky loans to inflate the prices…

    The Great Depression was the longest-lasting and most sever depression experienced by the Industrialized western world. It all began on October of 1929, when the stock market crashed. This caused the Wall Street to start to panic and even wiped out many investors as they began to dump all of the shares that they had owned (History.com). People however were not just getting rid of all of their stocks, but they were also starting to become unemployed. This was because many businesses could not afford to pay all of their workers when the banks started to close. The banks had to start closing because a lot of the money that they had was invested into the stock market to help them make more money. But with the unexpected crash, they had lost most…

    Opportunistic politicians used the 2008 financial crisis to pass a 2,300-page bill of growth killing regulations, known as Dodd-Frank. Rather than fixing the causes of the crisis helping Main Street families and businesses, Dodd-Frank enshrined “Too Big to Fail” policies and created a regulatory environment in which many of our community financial institutions are finding themselves “Too Small to Succeed.”…

This is a very important issue to me and i believe the three main reasons as to what cause the stock market to crash. One reason is buying on margin.

    Deregulation of the U.S. energy industry made possible Enron's emergence as a major corporation, but also ultimately may have contributed to its collapse. The company successfully seized the opportunity created by deregulation to create a new business as a market maker in natural gas and other commodities. Enron successfully influenced policymakers to exempt the company from various regulatory rules, for example in the field of energy derivatives. This allowed Enron to enter various trading markets with virtually no government oversight. Arguably, regulation might have prevented Enron from taking some of the risks and making some of the mistakes which it did. While deregulation may initially have helped Enron, by allowing it to create and enter new markets, it later hurt the company by removing the very restraints that might have kept it from becoming fatally overextended.…
