Extremely Light on Causes. . .
The introduction states that the stock crashes may have been more a symptom than a cause of the Great Depression, followed by a sentence-length list of the economic conditions that may have made the country vulnerable to such a crash. And that's about it. The section on the stock market crash has no causes listed whatsoever. Surely we can do better than this?! 64.38.189.209 (talk) 17:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- We can. We have a detailed article on Causes of the Great Depression. Dimadick (talk) 14:55, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Soviet Union section questionable
While I'm not sure to what degree the Depression contributed to it, saying that "At the time of the Depression, the Soviet economy was growing steadily, fuelled by intensive investment in heavy industry" seems at best misleading due to the 1930-33 famine.

The word "downtown" should be "downturn"
The following sentence is wrong: "According to those authors, while general economic trends can explain the emergence of the downtown, they fail to account for its severity and longevity", "downtown" should be "downturn" HanSoloQ (talk) 04:08, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Prizes Be Damned: The Grapes of wrath overshadowing of more legitimate source novel.
Steinbeck's novel, which focuses on a poor family of sharecroppers forced from their home as drought, economic hardship, and changes in the agricultural industry occur during the Great Depression, drew significant inspiration from Whose Names Are Unknown, a novel by journalist Sanora Babb. Babb’s book, based on her firsthand observations of Dust Bowl migrants, was completed before The Grapes of Wrath but remained unpublished until 2004, in part due to Steinbeck’s overwhelming success with a similar narrative. 173.218.3.79 (talk) 00:17, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Script error: No such module "protected edit request". This page is very inaccurate in terms of Germany depending on US for loans during the 1920’s. Germany was still paying off reputations from its involvement in WW1 to allied nations at the time including the US. Germany was in no position to get loans from a nation that is making them pay dues.
Whoever wrote that Germany was getting loans from the US isn't intelligent in terms of this subject. 72.240.146.243 (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
