Answer 1

Point of view of a wealthy capitalist seeking to buy real estate is reflected in these lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The great depression began after the Wall Street crash of 1929. The coming decade was a period of suffering and hardship with high rates of unemployment and poverty. Deflation, low profits and reduced farm incomes worsened the economy.

Several industries like agriculture, shipping, mining and construction suffered heavy losses. Even essential goods became a luxury to the poor. Low prices coupled with high poverty rate meant that only wealthy capitalists could buy property.

The great depression increased the rates of emigration in the US.
