The Great Depression

Summary The 1920s in Australia were a bright and prosperous time for many. Perhaps more than in any other country in the world, the future seemed assured. But on 28 October 1929, the New York Stock Exchange crashed, and the whole world plunged into economic chaos. Geoffrey Blainey looks at how the people of Australia came through those hard times of the Great Depression, which spelt personal disaster for many, while others prospered and learned from the experience. According to Professor Blainey, solutions were possible then and still hold true today.
