Identify
There were several groups and individuals who claimed that there was a social problem that needed to be addressed. The main group that recognised the social problem was the working class, particularly the farmers and small businessman of the working class. They identified the social problem as a lack of income resulting from unemployment and job scarcity. The working class throughout the 1920s and 1930s became more and more aggressive due to this social problem starting with protests and ending in huge riots.
There were also several individuals who recognized the need for addressing the needs of the public as well as a solution to the overall economical crisis. The main individual who recognized the social problem and actively worked to address it was William Aberhart. He founded the Social Credit Party and with his proposed solution to the social problem, social credit, he managed to dominate the provincial government of Alberta for over a quarter of a century.
Summary
William Aberhart described the problem as the lack of income in the working class which resulted in decrease in product demand and the loss of jobs. He recognized that he had to provide people with an income boost to increase demand and create jobs. His thinking was that this income boost would result in an increase in product demand. This increase in demand would lead to more corporate profit and that would lead to more jobs, as corporations and factories could afford to hire more workers. These jobs would then solve the income problem and the cycle would start again. Aberhart beleived that this cycle would would solve the social problem.
The working class also described the social problem as a lack of income and accepted the social credit approach as the solution to the social problem.
Identify
many individuals were blamed for this economic situation. Aberhart blamed the federal government of Canada. He argued that since they prevented his social credit theories from becoming a reality (through disallowing him control of Albertan banks) they were to blame for the province's economic situation.
we also see that the working class blamed their liberal and conservative parties for the situation. Or more specifically the leaders of both parties. they blamed Mackenzie king leader of the liberal party for allowing the problem to grow in the belief that it would pass of its own accord. The working class also blamed R. B. Bennet, leader of the conservative party for the economic situation. The main reason they blamed Bennet was because he organized many projects to alleviate the problem, however, due to poor planning, he was forced to cancel many of his expensive projects in preparation. These failed projects they believed had wasted a large portion of Albertan money and had not improved the situation, they believed that if he had planned things better the economy would be better.
