Question

Do you think the stock market crash could have been prevented? Yes or no? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Answer 1

Personally I think that the stock market crash was not preventable. If people continued to work and make money,corona would have spread more rapidly and affected the economy more.

Answer 2

Hmm I think yes. Even if stocks were due for a downturn, a more aggressive tightening of monetary supply by the Fed could have deflated the market and perhaps helped avoid the crash, most economists argue. Most also agree that the Fed then blundered by tightening after the crash, exacerbating and extending the Great Depression.
