The 1930s Crisis and the Rise of Totalitarianism
The Crisis of the 1930s
1. The Crack of the New York Stock Exchange
The stock was very overrated. It was enough that investors knew this fact, so they wanted to sell and recover their money.

Plato’s Theory of Ideas and Dialectic Method
Plato’s Theory of Ideas
IDEA (from the Greek verb eidein = to view). For Plato, ideas are realities that exist independently of things. The idea is reality itself.

Switched Access Lines
Switched access lines are those that need to establish a call between two endpoints for communication, i.e., the lines connecting each central pole from origin to destination, e.g., a phone call. The optimization of these lines requires stations to use coral switching, i.e., the two ends together with their mechanisms.
Land Lines
Switched telephone networks are guided by a physical means, usually a twisted-pair cable with two or four copper wires. RTC serves voice and data transport.
