The economic crisis unleashed since 1929, when the New York Stock Exchange crashed, reflects the more general crisis of liberal capitalism and liberal democracy. In the interwar period (1919 - 39), the economy sought to find ways to recover from state liberalism, while consolidating monopolistic capitalism. Even in the US, antitrust laws were losing their effect, and large companies - industrial and banking - took over the economic landscape, protected by the noninterventionist policy adopted mainly after 1921.
