A reinterpretation of the Great Depression through policy and personal experience
Amity Shlaes presents a revisionist account of the Great Depression, placing the pressures faced by New Deal figures alongside the experiences of individual Americans. The book frames the era not only as an economic and political crisis but also as a period shaped by citizens’ perseverance. Its approach brings together national policy, the people associated with Roosevelt’s New Deal, and personal stories from the depression years, offering a perspective on how public decisions and private hardship intersected in 20th-century U.S. history.
