Prevention of The Great Depression Some might say that there would have been no way to prevent or decelerate the Great Depression. However, regulation of the stock market, insured banking systems, and limits on agricultural production could have been the catalyst the country needed to cause the depression to reduce into a recession or put a stop to it all together.

The Great Depression was the worst economic slump ever in U.S. history, and one which spread to virtually all of the industrialized world. The depression began in late 1929 and lasted for about a decade. Many factors played a role in bringing about the depression; however, the main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly unequal distribution of wealth throughout the 1920's, and the extensive stock market speculation that took place during the latter part that same decade. The maldistribution of wealth in the 1920's existed on many levels. Money was distributed disparately between the rich and the middle-class, between industry and agriculture within the United States, and between the U.S. and Europe. This imbalance of wealth created an unstable economy.
