    The Great Depression of 1929 is the name given to the period of one of the greatest recessions in the United States (and consequently in the capitalist world), which, although it has this name, extended throughout the 1930s.

    Marked by high rates of unemployment, su/cides and bankruptcies, the Great Depression follows a decade of strong economic growth, accelerated consumerism and a warming stock market.

    Not to mention the (until then consolidated) American Way of Life: an upgrade from life to a "margarine commercial", according to which all Americans should live a happy, perfect and equal life through the consumption of goods. Almost 2 million workers lose their jobs.

    The dust bowl effect has been brought about by years of inadequate soil management practices. This became susceptible to wind forces, which caused a drought induced by the high level of soil particles suspended in the air. The soil, stripped of moisture, was lifted by the wind in large clouds of dust and sand so thick that they hid the sun for several days. Those days were also called as "black snow" or "black storm".

    The New Deal was a set of economic and social measures to resolve the 1929 Crisis.

    The plan articulated state and private investments, reforms to adapt various sectors of the economy and stimulate consumption, thus reviving the economy of that country.

    The New Deal was carried out between 1933 and 1937 in the United States, with a view to recovering the American economy from the crisis of overproduction and financial speculation that occurred in 1929.

    The measures taken in this period sought, above all, to generate jobs. With this, the government intended to increase the consumption of salaried workers, creating a virtuous cycle of development.
