USA 1917-29
- America's industry and farming had been growing steadily since the 1860s; they had huge resources (timber, coal, oil, iron); had a growing population with
immigrants willing to work hard; railway, mining and manufacturing sectors were doing really well and they believed in 'rugged individualism'.
- The Boom
- America began to mass produce so it didn't
cost as much to make a lot of Products. This
meant they could sell them at lower prices.
Therefore more people bought them (BOOM)

encourage people to buy
locally. This kept more
money circulating in
America's own economy

provided a lot of jobs
and wages went up
- More people had
more money, more
money in economy =
economic growth
- 'Hire purchase' scheme -
people weren't bothered
about being in debt to
