What saved the situation, at that time, was not only the self-correction of a free market but also vigorous, direct intervention by Government and business. The U.S. Federal Reserve injected billions of dollars into the banking system and drove down interest rates. Many blue-chip companies announced massive share repurchase programs and drove the market averages back up. The Japanese government urged its securities industry to support the Tokyo market...
