AP Success - AP World History: Great Depression via FDR's Chat

Source 1

"Two months ago we were facing serious problems. The country was dying by inches. It was dying because trade and commerce had declined to dangerously low levels; prices for basic commodities were such as to destory the value of national institutions such as banks, savings banks, insurance companies, and others. These institutions, becuase of their great need, were foreclosing mortgages, calling loans, refusing credit. Thus there was actually in process of destruction the property of millions of people who had borrowed money on that property in terms of dollars which had an entirely different value from the level of March, 1933."
