    It has some correlation, though 2008 wasn’t because of the stock market. It was an issue with loans and banks. It affected the stock market, and caused a large downturn, but the stock market didn’t cause it.

    I’m not educated enough in 1929 to make a comment, but I believe it was similar there. The stock market crashed, but it was an effect, not a cause. It can be an indicator of bad things happening in the economy, but it is not the economy.
