One of the early signs of the Great Depression was the extreme unequal distribution of wealth, which was characterized by a significant gap between the rich and the poor. This inequality meant that a large proportion of wealth was concentrated in the hands of a small percentage of the population, while the majority of people had very little. This situation contributed to an unstable economy because it limited the purchasing power of most consumers, leading to overproduction and underconsumption—factors that played a role in the economic downturn that became the Great Depression.
