This paper investigates the major causes that led to the Great Depression of 1929, one of the most devastating economic crises in world history. The study identifies a series of interconnected factors that contributed to the collapse of the U.S. economy and its global repercussions. Among them were the inefficiency of the banking system, misuse of credit, speculative behavior in the stock market, and the concentration of wealth among oligarchic elites. The research also highlights the negative impact of government policies, such as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and the rigid adherence to the Gold Standard, which intensified the crisis by reducing trade and money supply. The resulting chain of defaults, deflation, unemployment, and bank failures turned a stock market crash into a full-scale depression. In conclusion, the paper suggests that timely government intervention, regulation of credit, control of speculation, and prevention of monopolies could help avoid similar economic disasters in the future.
This paper explores the establishment, functions, and economic significance of the “Samruk” State Holding and the “Kazyna” Sustainable Development Fund in Kazakhstan. Formed in 2006, these two institutions were key components of the government’s strategy to modernize and diversify the national economy, enhance corporate governance, and strengthen transparency. “Samruk” manages state assets in strategic sectors, increasing efficiency and profitability of enterprises such as KEGOC, while “Kazyna” coordinates national development institutions to stimulate investment, innovation, and industrial growth. During the 2008 global financial crisis, “Kazyna” played a stabilizing role by financing small and medium enterprises, construction, and industrial diversification projects. The research emphasizes that these holdings have become crucial instruments for sustainable economic growth, technological development, and attraction of foreign investment, aligning Kazakhstan’s development model with international best practices.
