The hard times during the Great Depression of the 1930s were partially responsible for the predominately capitalist U. S. economy's evolution to a blank economy

The Great Depression of 1929 devastated the U.S. economy. A third of all banks failed. 1 Unemployment rose to 25%, and homelessness increased. 2 Housing prices plummeted 67%, international trade collapsed by 65%, and deflation soared above 10%

Hope this helps
