This book analyzes and provokes thoughtful discussion about the ways in which the collapse of the American economy in 1929 and 1930 contributed to the onset of a global depression that caused widespread suffering, political instability, and grassroots organizing.This volume tells the stories of the ordinary and extraordinary people who engaged in debates about democracy and capitalism during that time. Exploring the circulation of transformative policies, ideas, and forces, this tightly presented narrative will be of interest to students of American history, and particularly to undergraduate readers desiring a concise and engaging overview of the decade.
