Book Synopsis The New Deal and the Great Depression by : Aaron D. Purcell
Book excerpt: Experts on the 1930s address the changing historical interpretations of a critical period in American history. Following a decade of prosperity, the Great Depression brought unemployment, economic ruin, poverty, and a sense of hopelessness to millions of Americans. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs aimed to bring relief, recovery, and reform to the masses. The contributors to this volume exlore how historians have judged the nature, effects, and outcomes of the New Deal.
