Reichstag members as representatives of the interests of their respective electorates often had narrow limits to their willingness to compromise. Such class and status consciousness was part of the legacy of the imperial era and continued to have an effect, although it was also partly reshaped by a consumer and leisure-oriented mass culture that emerged in the 1920s and was driven by the new media forms of records, film and radio. People of all classes and strata went to the cinema or sat in front of the radio.

Since Weimar's early left of center politicians had been blamed for the <i>Dolchstoß</i> ("<a href="/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth" title="Stab-in-the-back myth">stab-in-the-back</a>"), a widely believed theory that Germany's surrender in the First World War had been unnecessary and the act of traitors, the popular legitimacy of the government was on shaky ground from the start. As normal parliamentary lawmaking broke down and was replaced around 1930 by a series of <a href="/wiki/Article_48_(Weimar_Constitution)" title="Article 48 (Weimar Constitution)">emergency decrees</a>, the decreasing popular legitimacy of the government further drove voters to extremist parties.<sup id="cite_ref-Ziblatt-2017_195-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ziblatt-2017-195"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>187<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>No single reason can explain the failure of the Weimar Republic.

It experienced a period of rampant <a href="/wiki/Hyperinflation" title="Hyperinflation">hyperinflation</a>, sometimes high unemployment, and a large drop in living standards. From 1923 to 1929, there was a period of economic recovery, but the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> of the 1930s led to a worldwide recession. Germany was particularly affected because it depended heavily on American loans. </p><p>The Weimar Republic was severely affected by the Great Depression. In 1926, about two million Germans were unemployed, which rose to around six million in 1932, with many blaming the Weimar Republic. As the Weimar Republic was very fragile throughout its existence, the depression was devastating and played a major role in the <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Party" title="Nazi Party">Nazi</a> takeover. </p><p>Most Germans thought the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles" title="Treaty of Versailles">Treaty of Versailles</a> was a punishing and degrading document because it forced them to surrender resource-rich areas and pay massive amounts of compensation. The punitive reparations caused consternation and resentment, but the actual economic damage resulting from the Treaty of Versailles is difficult to determine. While the official reparations were considerable, Germany ended up paying only a fraction of them. However, the reparations damaged Germany's economy by discouraging market loans. A number of factors came together in 1923, including printing currency to finance the costs of passive resistance to the <a href="/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Ruhr" title="Occupation of the Ruhr">occupation of the Ruhr</a>, to cause rampant hyperinflation. At the beginning of 1920, one US dollar was equivalent to fifty marks.
