The New Deal: America′s Response to the Great Depr ession
America′s Response to the Great Depression
Samenvatting
In this concise and lively volume, Ronald Edsforth presents a fresh synthesis of the most critical years in twentieth–century American history. The book describes the collapse of American capitalism in the early 1930s, and the subsequent remaking of the US economy during Franklin D. Roosevelt′s presidency. It is written for a new generation of readers for whom the Great Depression is a distant historical event.
