Question

"What evidence indicated throughout the 1920s that the economy was not as healthy as most believed? Why weren't these weaknesses addressed?"

Answer 1

THE GREAT DEPRESSION IS THE MOST EVIDENCE THAT SHOWED THAT THE ECONOMY WASN'T AS HEALTHY AS PEOPLE THINK.

Answer 2

Agriculture was already in a depression.
The rich were very rich, but the poor very poor.
These things weren't addressed because the rich figured things would just keep on going-they didn't need to worry about the "little people". Problem was, they did.
