Compare and contrast the causes, premises and consequences of the following events:

1. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the United States experienced an economic boom in which industrialists and the capitalists who backed them amassed great wealth. The boom ended abruptly with the stock market crash of 1929.
2. Near the end of the twentieth century, the United States experienced an economic boom in which high-tech entrepreneurs and those who invested in their ventures became wealthy very quickly. The year 2000 marked the beginning of the end, as stock markets retreated significantly for consecutive years, wiping out the wealth of some and adversely affecting most companies and investors.

Good Luck!
