The U.S. Depression Its Causes and Cures. This paper examines the forces that led to the near-collapse of the capitalist system, by doing this we are able to ascertain what factors caused the economic collapse itself. Indeed, the economic depression was caused by certain forces that had truly become out of control, and they revealed the flaws within capitalism itself. At the same time, however, an examination of the cures of the depression can also tell us a significant amount about its causes, since both phenomena are intricately linked. By analyzing how Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal dealt with the depression, we are able to better gauge how the economic collapse could have been avoided in the first place. 10 pgs. 12 f/c. 8b.
