Could the United States ever experience another Great Depression? Why or why not?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The great depression happened because of the crash of the stock market. It led to the wiping out of the investors. There continued a reduction in investment and consumption expenditure for several years after that. Industrial employment also fell as the companies which drowned had to lay off the workers. It caused output to fall as well.
