Why the stock market crash as the cause of the Great Depression is a misconception?
The Stock Market Crash of 1929 did not cause the Great Depression but was an indicator of the underlying economic problems that went unnoticed or ignored during the 1920s. There was no governmental regulation of banks or the stock market to prevent buying and selling of stock that was either not listed at a price reflecting the actual value of the company or of letting the buy and sell quantity determine the cost of the stock. Banks were permitted to gamble with depositor's money to buy stock on the stock market. Many businesses listed on the stock exchange did not exist or existed only on paper. The true value of many businesses on the exchange were not public or listed accurately. Too much borrowing (buying on margin) allowed brokers and lenders to get in way over their head. As the economic problems started to effect the overall economy, the market collapsed.
