This week in APUSH, we are going to learn about the U.S. economy and "bank runs."

Have you been following the news about the bank run at the Silicon Valley Bank and its impact on the Tech industry? What questions or opinions do you have about this issue?

Curious about this topic? Want to understand it more? Check out this helpful YouTube explanation video!

This next section is about the effects of World War I, which we skipped in the interest of time. Remember:

Triple Entente: Won (would eventually become the Allied Powers in WWII)

  • Great Britain, the United States, France

Central Powers: Lost (Germany would eventually become an Axis Power in WWII)

  • Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (which no longer exists)

Here is a quick video about the terms of the post-WWI negotiations in case you need a refresher from World History.

In explaining the causes of the Great Depression, your textbook asserts, "Ironically, the depression of the 1930s was one of abundance, not want. It was the 'great glut' or 'plague of plenty" (Kennedy and Cohen, 545).

Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?

Connections to the Present Day: The Obama administration used FDR's "Hundred Days" as a blueprint for how to handle the 2008 recession. Certain banks like Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase were deemed "too big to fail," so the U.S. government bailed them out in 2008.

The other issue in 1929 was "bank runs" or mad dashes to withdraw money from the bank after stock markets crash. The Glass-Steagall Banking Reform Act was a relief program that was also intended to prevent this phenomenon from happening in the future.

Inflation is a continual increase in the price of goods and services, e.g. a can of soda is now $1.50 when it used to be $0.49.

Senator Long would not be the last to advocate for a universal basic income.

2020 Presidential candidate Andrew Yang also proposed that every American family should receive at least $1000 each month.

Universal basic income is such a popular policy that it has found its way into President Biden's infrastructure plan, which proposes a $250-300/month to offset childcare costs for most American families.

FDR is often criticized for his "alphabet soup" of New Deal programs. Don't worry too much about memorizing every single program. Just focus on the ones addressed in comprehension questions as they are most important to know!
