Poor policy making by the American Federal Reserve System and continuous crisis in the banking system allowed the money supply as measured by the M2 to shrink by one-third from 1929 to 1933. Public bank failures, particularly the Bank of the United States, produced panic and widespread withdrawals of funds from banks. This caused many more banks to fail and have to close their doors. This caused a downward spiral among bussinessmen. There was no way for them to get new loans, and no way to renew the loans they already had, so they stopped investing which caused more banks to go belly up.

because they dint have enough money to give to people

Many banks closed because they didn't have enough money, so they closed down.
