The Great Depression and Wall Street: The Great Depression of the 1930s remains one of the most significant economic crises in modern history, and some conspiracy theorists argue that it was deliberately engineered by Wall Street insiders for profit. They claim that powerful financiers manipulated stock prices, engaged in speculative trading, and orchestrated market crashes to wipe out competition and consolidate their wealth. While there is evidence of reckless speculation and regulatory failures leading up to the Great Depression, attributing the entire crisis to a grand conspiracy overlooks the complex interplay of economic, social, and political factors at play.
