The main reasons for the depression were high interest rates (6%) and the larger banks stopped lending to the small town banks.

They learned this lesson and the Fed is pumping money in to the system (120 Billion $$ the last three days) and they are keeping interest rates at 2%.

The banks are also joining together and loaning each other money as well as overseas
banks are pumping money in to the system to protect their investments.
