ECONOMY
.
In the twenties, there was a massive economic boom following WWI that led to huge discoveries and inventions in many fields that became a strong foundation for thriving businesses. New technologies like the automobile, household appliances, and other mass-produced products led to an immense consumer culture, stimulating economic growth. There was also a boom and crash involving the stock market and the idea of credit. Furthermore, under the administration of three consecutive Republican presidents, the government adopted conservative policies that fueled the growth of private business. This boom ultimately led to The Great Depression in the 1930s.
