What caused the Great Depression? The Great Depression of the 1930s was a global event that derived in part from a variety of economic, financial, and political disruptions taking place around the world. In the United States, the Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy to control stock market speculation, which added to the pressures that ultimately led the German people to elect Adolf Hitler's Nazi party to a majority in 1933. This brought about a sharp decline in European economic growth, which had a negative effect on businesses and people in general and caused a worldwide economic downturn.

The whole country was reeling from a recession caused mainly by Republican economic policies that deregulated the financial and housing markets and allowed for excessive speculation. This led to a cascade of collapses in the banking sector, with thousands of banks going out of business and people losing their savings. This, in turn, caused a wave of bankruptcies, increasing unemployment, and further limiting consumer spending.

In addition to the economic factors, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, combined with environmental conditions, allowed for the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, which led the United States into a state of economic crisis. The Dust Bowl caused agricultural production to plummet, exacerbating the economic downturn even more.

The economic impacts of the loss of species and lack of diversity is also thought to have contributed to the Great Depression. This is especially true in the case of pellagra, a disease caused by a niacin deficiency. Although it would be discovered years later that pellagra was caused by a lack of dietary diversity, the disease was rampant in the US during the Great Depression, especially as the Great Depression was around the corner.

Therefore, it is clear that a variety of factors contributed to the Great Depression. The economic, political, and environmental crises of the 1930s had a profound effect on the entire world, leading to a widespread decrease in economic activity.

So the agenda for religion writers to mull with good sources runs leaders to questions such as this: To what extent does the Great Recession reflect the Great Depression, and what new economic policies are needed to prevent another similar economic crisis?

In light of this, it is important for policymakers to understand the causes of the Great Depression and to take steps to prevent a similar crisis from occurring again. The Federal Reserve must be cautious about its monetary policy, and Congress must take steps to ensure that the financial sector is well-regulated. Additionally, environmental conditions must be managed to prevent another Dust Bowl, and we must ensure that our diets remain diverse to prevent the spread of preventable diseases.

Therefore, I call on the House to advance legislation to raise our debt limit and prevent a second Great Depression. It has been 48 days since the Senate passed a bill to increase the debt limit and take action to prevent a default. We cannot afford to wait any longer.
