Which Factor is Most Important to the Depression

I think the most important factor that contributed to the depression would be the new inventions. The poor people would buy all these products, a lot on credit, which they couldn't pay back and they had to borrow money from the banks which eventually closed too. Also, the companies would get really excited about people buying their new products, that they would bake too much inventory. They wouldn't make a profit because no one was buying their products anyore and they would waste their money.

Invention of Cars the Reason for the Boom?

I disagree because there were a lot of other inventions and discoveries. Maybe without the invention of cars the glass, leather, steel, & rubber industries wouldn't have done as well, but that doesn't mean that cars were the source of the boom. The Natural Resources map showed us how America started using more natural resources for their everyday life. There were pictures of men building new skyscrapers and buildings, and electricity was invented and used frequently. Other companies boomed as well like the airplanes, radios, fridges, and clothing.
