Abstract:

This work aims to explain the performance of the Brazilian economy throughout the period of the Great Depression. We propose a general equilibrium, open economy model in which the Brazilian government can improve the terms of trade by taking advantage of Brazil\'s monopolistic position in international coffee markets. It burns a share of coffee production in order to influence international prices, thus containing the impact of the Great Depression on the domestic economy\'s supply of foreign consumption and investment goods. We find that our coffee burning mechanism is capable of improving th

Like many other states Alabama was greatly harmed by the Great Depression. As a result of the economic woes facing Alabama the state government adopted many strategies aimed at improving the situation faced by the state as a whole. Some include changes in the strategies adopted by the two Governors of the 1930s, the effects of the Depression on one of the states key industries, changes to taxation, as well as the repeal of Prohibition and how it was connected to the Depression in Alabama. Additionally, there were many different variables that influenced state behavior, taxation in particular,

Abstract:

This paper examines North Dakota's response to the Great Depression. By establishing a historical background, combined with the qualitative data, it shows that North Dakota's agricultural economy and progressive legacy played major roles in how the Great Depression affected the state, as well as how North Dakota reacted to the economic crisis. In forming a historically narrative, the paper aims to show the political turbulence the Depression helped cause and the outrages attempts North Dakotan politicians made to aid their citizens. The qualitative side aims to explain North Dakota's place amo

Abstract:

Minnesota had a number of industries in the 1930s that played key roles in determining state policy. These industries included agriculture, flour, and lumber. During the time period, Minnesota politics became more radical in order to address the vast changes taking place that were brought on by the Great Depression. This radicalism brought on one of the most powerful state level third parties the nation has ever seen and possibly Minnesota's most successful governor. From 1929 to 1940, Minnesota's state legislature had many obstacles to overcome including an economic bubble in the agriculture

The Great Depression marked a fateful passage in the annals of the American people. President Roosevelt's New Deal, the nation's signature response, proved to be a determined but erratic reaction. Against the backdrop of a nation deeply mired in an unrelenting international depression, dramatic events played themselves out in the lives of the men and women of Utah. Throughout, fidelity to principles of independence, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency were sorely challenged.The people of Utah found succor in two almost diametrically opposed responses.

This paper analyzes Wyoming’s response to the Great Depression and the federal aid programs that arose from it. Since Wyoming was already facing a depression for a decade before the rest of the nation followed after the stock market crash in 1929, the Wyoming legislature was already struggling to find new ways to cut costs and raise revenues. From 1929 to 1940, this time-period saw four different governors, the establishment of Grand Teton National Park, the enactment of a sales tax, the decline of Wyoming’s oil industry, and an attempted secession movement.

Abstract:

Quotation, the placing of found material into a new context, always involves transforming that material. The modernist poets who first incorporated extensive quotation into poetry prioritized hierarchy, aesthetic excellence, and formal license, values that encourage us to measure a poet’s genius by the audacity with which he transforms found material. This conception of poetry as masterful arrangement proved inadequate, however, in the wake of the Great Depression, as Marxist politics, a trend toward collectivism, and a vogue for documentary forms inflected the words of others with ethical sta

As previously reliable sources of revenue dried up, the state government was left searching for other tax sources through taxes, bond sales, and aid from the federal government. Over the decade, the State of New Jersey and its governors levied new taxes, fought high profile legal battles, reorganized the state civil se

During the Great Depression, states were forced to decide how to approach taxation and spending issues. Deficit spending was a relatively new theory at the time so many states took a very conservative approach. Virginia, even as a heavily Democratic southern state, was one of the states that was very conservative and disagreed with President Roosevelt’s New Deal. Virginian officials believed their highest priority was avoiding a deficit, followed by helping the people.

However, this premium disappeared as the neighborhood was increasingly settled by African Americans.During the 1930s the federal and state governments introduced several programs designed to help

Our data indicate that the recent crisis indeed had the potential to be another Great Depression, as shown by the speed and simultaneity of the decline in the first nine months.
