The New Deal : America's response to the Great Depression

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.

Roosevelta s presidency. It is written for a new generation of readers for whom the Great Depression is a distant historical event.
