The most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States;
Its from my favorite documentary by PBS - New York.

This particular part about Wall Street crash of 1929 is from episode 5 of the series with title: Cosmopolis
there are lots of archive photos, footages and drawings throughout the series and in my opinion it was great work done with finding them.

series website:
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/newyork/series/index.html

"Archival shoots took place at various historical and cultural institutions, including the New-York Historical Society, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Library of Congress, and focused on the filming of particularly rare or large-scale archival prints, lithographs, maps, and photographs"

  • Solutions to the 2011 crash:

    1. Legalize weed (hemp generates lots of money)

  • @MegaCreativekid Yeah, but the reason it got to that is because we are totally dependent on the federal reserve, and when it began to show it wouldn't work too well, the recession happened. If we didn't become so dependent on the federal reserve, this problem may have been avoided

  • @gmanhell94 umm the reason why we didn't go back into another depression in 2008 was because we bailed out the banks. If we hadn't our entire financial system would have been destroyed and you and anyone you know would be unemployed right now (and probably for the next 10 years). You should be thankful for the bailouts.

  • we do not woitch what we spend people do not know what there doing it coming again people are more dum now then in 1929

  • people are so dum they can't see it coming 2012-2013 very bad
