But during the late 1920s, problems inthe economy began to build up. Before the stock market crashed in 1929, the U.S.economy had the following problems:Uneven distribution of wealth The richest people got richer while workers' wagesincreased only slightly. With only a small increase in their income, most people couldn'tafford to buy all of the products of U.S. industry.Too much production with too little demand-Factories continued to producemore and more goods, but people could not afford them. Warehouses were filled withunsold goods. Most major industries had slowed down by the middle of 1929.Widespread use of credit-People began to buy goods on credit. Many owed moremoney than they could pay back. By the end of the 1920s, buying slowed.CancelStock speculation-Because it seemed the stock market would always keep rising,many people borrowed money to buy stocks.
