US History Repeated

The Great Depression


Listen Later

In this podcast Jimmy and Jean discuss The Great Depression and the aftermath of the stock crash. 

We will discuss economic impacts like bank runs and some of the programs put in place to prevent things like this happening again.

We get into the environmental crisis of the time, The Dust Bowl.

We get into social impacts of the depression and discuss Hoovervilles, homelessness, unemployment, food scarcity, and the perserverance of the people who adapted and made it through arguably the worst economic time in the United States.

 

There is always more to learn, talk to you soon!

-Jimmy & Jean
