Chapter 070 Economics

Takuya Yamada broke his silence and said, "Masato, what book are you reading recently?"

Lin Yaren leaned on the chair and actually told: "William Manchester's "Glory and Dreams."

"What a coincidence, I read this book too." Takuya Yamada also said with a smile.

Lin Yaren said calmly: "The timeline of "Glory and Dream" was written from 1932 to 1972, a full forty years.

This book can enable foreign readers to better understand the politics, economy, culture, society and other aspects of the United States, especially the United States.

What touched me the most about "Glory and Dreams" was my further understanding of the Great Depression from 1929 to 1933. It was really terrible.

During the Great Depression, Americans not only starved and frozen, but even survived became a big problem. I remember clearly that some reports from the New York Times were quoted as examples.

In order to prevent the trash can be filled with maggots and food that could still be eaten looked disgusting, a woman in glasses took off her eyes and took them to eat.

Another thing is that a young daughter told her teacher that it was her sister who would eat today and that it would be her turn tomorrow. Many American families no longer had their meals according to each meal, but were changed to eat every day.

Also, after a restaurant chef poured a pile of kitchen waste into the trash can, more than a dozen people rushed out from all over the place to search for things in the trash can.

In the 1930s, black people were discriminated against by whites. Even so, during the Great Depression, some white American women would rather choose to go outdoors with black people to make money and buy food.

If someone discovers and catches her, the white woman will bite her to death and it is the black man who rapes her. For this reason, many black people are either killed or arrested to go to prison.

The so-called Coolidge prosperity in the United States is actually the prosperity supported by the bubble economy. The heavy losses and lessons brought about by this kind of prosperity are not only for the American people, but also for Germany, RB, Britain and other countries.

It has created a great opportunity for Germany, RB, Italy, Spain and other countries to embark on the road of success in the future.

As for some fallacies, it is nonsense that the Soviet Union did not suffer losses during the Great Depression, but was able to vigorously develop the domestic economy and successfully achieve industrialization.

Stalin of the Soviet Union became even more cruel and directly sacrificed the entire Ukraine, which was the Soviet granary. He exchanged Ukrainian food for foreign exchange and machinery and equipment needed for industry. This was the only way to make premeditated and artificial decisions, starving millions of Ukrainians to death."

He stopped when he said this. The first reaction in his mind was to think of the current RB bubble economy. Although it is not as big as the bubble economy in the Coolidge period in the United States, once the bubble burst, it will definitely increase the number of suicides and crimes in his own society.

Takuya Yamada also wanted to listen to his review of the book "Glory and Dreams" and said: "Why do you say half of it, and still leave half of it?"

"Glory and Dream" is so thick that I can't finish it for a while. Since you want to listen, I will just briefly talk about the first part of it.

It mainly talks about the Great Depression to the eve of the war against Japan, and the time span was from 1932 to 1941. In fact, the transfer of presidential power received by US President Hoover from Coolidge was to take over a mess of the US economy.

The evaluation of President Hoover in the middle school history text on US is not neutral and objective. In my personal opinion, the purpose of suppressing him is to raise the new US economic policy implemented by Roosevelt after he came to power.

As far as facts are concerned, plus my personal opinion, Roosevelt's US New Economic Policy is similar to the domestic economic policy that Germany Hitler made.

In today's terms, the government or state will invest heavily in domestic infrastructure to drive the growth of their own economy. The advantage of this policy is that it can attract a large number of unemployed people.

During this period, the strict use of construction machinery and equipment was also restricted a lot, and the purpose was not to improve production efficiency, but to maximize the solution to employment problems.

Roosevelt also sent a large number of Americans to plant trees on the border between the United States and Canada. His purpose was to allow unemployed people to have something to do, so as not to have idle thoughts and go around randomly, which would easily lead to problems.

As long as people have a job and have an income, they can stabilize people's hearts. After all, in situations where the economic environment is particularly bad, the requirements cannot be too high. As long as they have a job, they can eat a full meal.

The stall Roosevelt took from Hoover was even worse, and it had pushed the United States to the brink of another civil war. After all, riots occurred in many places in the United States.

If he does it well, he will become the president of the United States who has been famous in history. On the contrary, if he does not do it well, he will become a sinner for the ages.

In fact, the renewed prosperity of the US economy was not at all after the Great Depression, but after the full outbreak of World War II.

The excess labor force and unemployed people in the United States form a transportation site for combat troops. People like this need as much as they want, and it is not a pity to die.

If they are left idle all day long and have nothing to do, it will easily cause various social problems and troubles.

In addition, the increase in various military products has led to the ability of American factories to run at full capacity and produce vigorously, which has promoted more employment and allowed more people to have jobs and income.

With more and more money in your pocket, ordinary Americans are naturally more willing to make various consumptions, which has led to a significant increase in domestic demand. This has formed a good virtuous cycle.

During World War II, not only did the United States not suffer any damage, but it also made another war fortune.

In the United States, there is a good scene of singing and dancing, wine and luxury, and being intoxicated by luxury." Lin Yaren talked happily.

After listening to his story carefully, Takuya Yamada suddenly expressed his feelings: "In the past! I think you can make money from the stock market, just because you are lucky. Now it seems that your strength plays a key decisive role."

"It's just a chat between us, that's all. This has nothing to do with the stock market." Lin Yaren said calmly.

Takuya Yamada waved his hand and said, "At least, it can be seen that your love for economics is extraordinary. Otherwise, who would have read such a very thick book, remember it so firmly, and has personal opinions and opinions?"
