Most people didn't believe the false prosperity of the 1920s would end.

People kept hearing the same cautions from economists for years - all the while growing more convinced of the stability of their "new era", where stocks and real estate had reached a permanently high plateau, a la Irving Fisher.

Or as the founder of General Motors commented in May 1929, "Everything will be fine as long as we continue to believe. Confidence, not half-way confidence, but 100% confidence is the real basis for our prosperity."

He later earned his living managing a bowling alley, having lost everything.
