One of the causes of the great depression was the overuse and easy access to lines of credit which was used by many to invest in the stock market.
If stocks performed well, the loans were in no danger of default.
But many stocks were over sold or marketed under less than honest conditions, being sold and bought for more than they were truly worth.
There was stock manipulation back then too.
Eventually reality kicks in and somebody has to be paid - that's when the whole pyramid scheme collapses on itself because there wasn't enough money to allow people to be paid in real currency.
Banks closed, some went bankrupt, because of the shoddy loans so people could participate in the stock market and get rich.
The only major country to NOT be affected by the great depression was Russia - they were under a totally isolated, different economic system, not connected to western markets at all, so the Russian economy was unaffected by the depression and it's effects throughout North America and Europe.
so look at today's economic conditions, the interest rates, the ease or difficulty of credit, and see whether the underlying conditions which fueled the great depression have been removed or have simply been repainted a different color.

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.
Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.
Depression Free Method?

The Great Depression was in the 30s. It was precipitated in part by a stock market crash in '29, but didn't start immediately.
The business cycle continues, so there are expansions and recessions, but they are muted somewhat by government policy. In the 70s, those policies failed rather spectacularly, but, even then, the results were not as stark as the Great Depression.
We're certainly on track for another recession, and we've had a change of leadership at the Fed, so it's not like there's no cause for concern, but a global recession on the scale of the 30s is unlikely.
