Abstract: Abstract The Great Depression of 1929–33 saw large losses in aggregate production, prices, income, and security values, which politicians and the press attributed to financial fraud arising from greed which called for the legal enforcement of transparency. Or were securities firms already transparent and well-behaved, the asset collapses having been caused by business losses? The New Deal was convinced of the former, but its legislative ambitions were modified by private interests, and its regulations have not been fully applied.
