Frage 5

Frage
The economic boom in America in the 1920's was a result of the impact of WWI, natural resources, [blank_start]technological[blank_end] advances, [blank_start]mass[blank_end] production, advertising & salesmanship, ease of [blank_start]credit[blank_end] and Republican policies. Mass production involved [blank_start]standardisation[blank_end] and [blank_start]assembly[blank_end] lines, improving efficiency in industries. This and technological advances greatly relate to the growing [blank_start]Automobile[blank_end] industry. WWI gave US firms less [blank_start]competition[blank_end] and more markets to trade with. Ease of credit allowed ordinary Americans to afford what were once 'luxury' items. Republican policies such as l[blank_start]aissez[blank_end]-f[blank_start]aire[blank_end], low taxes, [blank_start]tariffs[blank_end] and policies relating to unions, allowed for relaxed [blank_start]regulation[blank_end] and more money in circulation within the US.
