Description

This volume explores the severe economic depression that took place mostly in the 1930s in the United States.

Beginning with a major fall in stock prices, the Great Depression had devastating effects for both rich and poor.

Areas dependent on primary sector industries, such as mining and logging were hard hit.

Farming communities and rural areas suffered as crop prices plummeted.

Effects of the Great Depression continued to be felt up until World War II.

These volumes explore documents that help to define events leading to the Great Depression, demonstrate its effects, and show the thinking of leaders and politicians at that time.
