Acerca de esta escucha

Did you know that the unemployment rate between 1933 and 1934 was one in four people?

The stock market crash of 1929 didn’t cause the Great Depression by itself, but it is a powerful symbolic starting point to the greatest economic disaster of the 20th century. On that dark day in October 1929, fortunes were lost, and fear of financial insecurity rose throughout the United States and the world. In 1932, the low point of the Depression, as much as a third of Americans were out of work, and even more people were unemployed in other countries. The stock market reached its lowest point ever and wouldn’t rise to its pre-Depression levels for almost 20 years.

The scale of the crisis demanded new ways of coping and new ideas about the role of government. The ideas that had dominated American thought about the relationship between the economy and government were now viewed to be outdated at best, dangerous at worst.

Great Depression

Could be very beneficial for all Americans to expand on passed their compulsory understandings and moral Bias. It is slightly biased against FDR, but, it is mostly true. FDR was a supersalesman - promoter and always had the masses on his team.

detailed explanations

This book provides amazing insight into the Great Depression. I didn't really how many days today parallels there are (and aren't) to today's Great Recession.

TERRIFIC BOOK

Finally a real insight into the true events surrounding the Great Depression. Always felt the information in the School was incorrect. This book shines a light into what events really triggered the depression and what eventually got us out.

Teaches you the truth

Facts that were known by the participants themselves in this historical context, but for a variety of reasons, overshadowed by politics. A must-BOOK for any serious history student to see where we've been, and to possibly gain a better understanding of where America is headed economically in the 21st Century.

Clear concepts

I love the presentation of this audiobook. Well written, facts backed up, made clear about what really happened. I especially liked how the author clearly tied.

Comprehensive and GREAT summary

What I enjoyed most about this audiobook - which covered a period of history of which I have read many books - both economic and military - is that it did not pin the cause of the Great Depression on just one or two events, but rather showed the multiplicity of events that aggregated together created the Great Depression. This included the bank runs of the 1920s, the agricultural depression of the 1920s, the social influences as well as the financial speculations.

In general, if I could summarize all the books I’ve read into one short book report – this is what I would have written.

Finally the voice narration was enjoyable and relaxing.

If you haven’t read much about the 1920s and 1930s through the end of World War II, this book would be a great overview and introduction that could stimulate thoughts and interests for research in greater details on a variety of different topics.

I currently have over 700 book titles in my Audible library and while very simple, this is perhaps in the top 10 of my favorite Audible books for the simple reason that it provided many different storylines woven together into one big story without ever getting caught in the minutia of boring details.

Good information

I thought this was going to be boring. Quite the opposite. If you are interested in history, finance, and human interest this is a great book.

One of the best books

One of the best books I have ever read about the Great Depression!! I've been looking for a book that could give me information about the financial dealings of that era since we are experiencing our own hard times. It's amazing, and distressing, that Obama is following the same path as FDR. The gov't had their fingers in everything and didn't let the market work the way it should

This book gives you all the knowledge you need

This is how history should be taught to our youth. The author gives a voice to those that actually experienced the depression and the true emotions that surrounded their fears. Never has this time in history made it into my heart until this book?
