Recession

4 Read the text and answer the question: What happened on Black Tuesday?

The Wall Street Crash

A recession is a time of reduced economic activity in a country. The longest recession in modern history was the Great Depression.

In the 1920s, the USA was the richest and most successful country in the world. Many people used the credit available to buy shares and speculate on the stock market. By 1929, a third of the nation's money belonged to only 5% of the population, while 70% of the population had an income of less than $2500 a year.

However, in October 1929 the price of shares, which was unnaturally high, decreased rapidly.

On Black Tuesday – Tuesday 29 October of 1929 – the American stock market in New York, Wall Street, lost over $14 million. The Wall Street Crash was the beginning of the Great Depression and a world financial crisis.

The consequences of the crash were felt all over the world. In the USA many rich people lost a lot of money, some companies went bankrupt and people lost their jobs. Between 1929 and 1932, over 20000 companies went out of business. As a result, there were over 13 million people unemployed during the Great Depression. The American economy didn't recover until the beginning of World War II.
