Prosperity, depression and the New Deal - Peter Clements

This second edition focuses on the US domestic policies of the inter-war period. It has been thoroughly updated to take into account recent interpretations of the period. In addition, a new chapter provides coverage of the social and political developments in the 1920s. Crucial issues such as the urban-rural divide in the 1920s, the extent to which prosperity was 'real' in that decade, the factors which led to the Wall Street Crash and its relationship with the Great Depression, and the purpose and significance of the New Deal are analysed in depth.
