How did the overproduction of goods in the 1920s affect consumer prices, and in turn, the economy?

When businesses produced more goods than consumers could buy, supply exceeded demand. Sellers lowered prices to move excess goods, and consumers’ demand weakened as goods piled up. Businesses then reduced production and sometimes laid off workers, slowing the economy. This matches “Consumer demand decreased, prices decreased, and the economy slowed.”
