At the turn of
the twentieth century, people's attitudes toward money were far more
conservative than they are today. Borrowing and being in debt were viewed as a
moral failing, almost as a disgrace. Thrift and saving were highly prized, and people
who needed to borrow to make ends meet were seen as
careless,
unreliable, or extravagant. The focus in the economy as a whole was on
developing large corporations like railroads, oil companies, and other
companies that produced basic goods and services.
Then, in the
1920s, the economy changed. A huge network of banks and financial institutions
developed, helping money to move more quickly and easily through the economy.
At the same time, the economy was increasing its focus on consumer goods—
clothing, cars, household appliances, and other things that individuals buy. To
help promote the sale of these items, consumers were encouraged to buy on
credit. If they could not afford an item right away, a store or a bank might lend
them the oney, which they could pay back in installments.
With the development of consumer credit and
installment purchases, people's attitudes toward debt and spending changed. The
model citizen was no longer someone who was thrifty, buying only what he or she
needed. People were respected less for being thrifty than for knowing how to
use their money to buy as many things as possible— an attitude that persists at
the turn of the twenty-first century.
