Selling apples on Wall Street


Wall Street is known around the world as the financial centre of New York, but today (30th of September) apples, not shares, were sold here at the New York Stock exchange building. This way 13-year-old Jeremy Conroy refers to the 1930s stock market crash. Back then victims of the Great Depression tried to survive by selling apples from their gardens. Even though young Jeremy made us remember the awful social consequences of the 1930s crash, the United States government stays reluctant to interfere in its own economy.
