The Great Depression (circa 1929-1941) was a time when the bottom fell out of the stock market, and triggered a worldwide economic recession, with many businesses shut down and millions left unemployed. People who were financially solvent one day were penniless the next day. People lost their homes, farms, businesses. People were put out onto the street. This economic crash began in 1929 but continued throughout the 1930s, and was only partly addressed by new government financial programs under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Only the boom caused by World War II finally ended the depression.

Millions of people were unemployed and hopeless. The capitalists and their banker friends responsible for the markets crashing managed to stay comfortable while people who had to labor for a living were left to the mercy of charity and family support. The message of Communism in supporting the working class resonated very strongly. At that point in American history there was no safety net, such as food stamps, welfare, social security. It was a society governed by the law of the jungle, also known as unrestricted capitalism.
