1920s American business
The 1920s in America, known as the “Roaring Twenties,” was a time of economic growth and innovation. Businesses expanded rapidly, driven by consumer demand for new products like automobiles, radios, and household appliances. Mass production techniques, such as assembly lines, lowered costs and increased availability. Stock markets surged, encouraging investment and optimism. However, this prosperity also led to risky speculation. Overall, it was a decade of dynamic change in American industry, shaping modern consumer culture and economic practices, but it ended with the Great Depression in 1929, highlighting underlying vulnerabilities.
