English below
La spéculation boursière des années 20, permis aux gens d'acheter des valeurs boursières avec de l'argent emprunté et se servirent de ces valeurs pour en acheter d'autres en collateral.
Les prets boursiers partirent de 500 millions durant les années 1928 jusqu'à 850 millions en septembre 1929. Le marché boursier était tres instable, parce qu'il était basé sur de l'argent emprunté et un optimiste maladroit.
Quand les investisseurs perdirent confiance, le marché boursier faillit, et tomba. Ce que l'on appela le (crash boursier).
Il y avait également des signes économiques gouvernementaux qui conduisirent à la grande dépression.
Les politiciens croyaient que les affaires étaient la clef de la réussite en Amerique. Ainsi, le gouvernement ne prit aucun moyen contre ces investissements nébuleux. Le Congres passa à des taux excessifs pour protéger l'industrie americaine mais fit un tors considérable aux fermiers et au marché international.
L'économie était instable. La santé nationale n'était pas également partagée. Malgré tout cela, l'argent appartenait à quelques familles qui l'économisait ou investissait plutot que la dépenser sur le marché et faire rouler l'économomie.
Ainsi, l'offre était plus grande que la demande.
Plusieurs personnes en profitèrent et d'autres non. Les prix grimpèrent et le peuple ne pouvait suivre. Les fermiers et les travailleurs n'en profitèrent pas.
L'inégalité de la prospérité rendit le pays dans une situation difficile.
Entre les années 1925 et 1929, les prix de la bourse de New York fleurissaient, plus que leur valeur. Cette envolée des prix fit en sort que beaucoup de spéculateurs commencèrent
à spéculer ou essayérent d'acheter de gros montant boursier dans le but de faire beaucoup de profit. Ce grand engouement dans le marché boursier allait finir par ce que l'on appela alors (la grande dépression).
Le 24 octobre 1929, connu sous le nom (Jeudi noir), alors devint le jour fatidique alors que des millions de gens commencèrent à retirer leur argent de peur de le perdre.
Le lundi suivant le marché boursier descendit encore et le mardi un record de 16,410,030 d'actions furent vendues.
Des milliers de personnes perdirent d'énormes sommes d'argent et ce fut la débandade.
Plusieurs personnes furent si traumatisées qu'on assista presque à un suicide collectif. Plusieurs se jetèrent du haut des édifices. Cette période durant presque une décennie. Elle se fit ressentir
partout à travers le monde. Même le Canada n'y échappa pas. Ce fut la période noire.
Mais les gens quoique tres pessimisme se permirent de faire des chansons durant cette période.

English
Speculation in the 1920s caused many people to buy stocks with loaned money and they used these stocks as collateral for buying more stocks.
Broker's loans went from under $500 million in mid 1928 to $850 million in September of 1929. The stock market boom was very unsteady, because
it was based on borrowed money and false optimism. When investors lost confidence, the stock market collapsed, taking them along with it.
Short signs government economic policies were one of the factors that led to the Great Depression. Politicians believed that business was the
key business of America. Thus, the government took no action against unwise investing. Congress passed high tariffs that protected American
industries but hurt farmers and international trade.
The economy was not stable. National wealth was not spread evenly. Instead, most money was in the hands of a few families who saved or
invested rather than spent their money on American goods. Thus, supply was greater than demand. Some people profited, but others did not. Prices
went up and Americans could not afford anything. Farmers and workers did not profit. Unevenness of prosperity made recovery difficult.
Stock Market crash of 1929
In the years between 1925 and 1929, the prices of stock on the New York Stock Exchange flourished, more than doubling their values. This soaring stock prices caused thousands to start speculating or trying to buy large amounts of stock in order to make a large profit. The large amounts of money thrown into the stock market would end up
causing "The Great Depression" in the United States.
On October 24, 1929, known as Black Thursday, the stock
market nearly totally collapsed as millions of people began withdrawing money in fear of losing it all. The following
Monday the stocks dropped once again and on Tuesday a record 16,410,030 shares were sold. Thousands of people lost extraordinary sums of money and soon banks and businesses started to fold.
Some men, so demoralized by the
crash jumped out of buildings. The great stock market crash of 1929 ended the period known as the "Roaring
Twenties."
Even during this period some songs were composed here is one. It was sung by Bing Crosby.
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Gorney Harburg (1931)
They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it"s done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Can you spare a dime Bing's Crosby recording 374k 1932
