  1. 1. The American People In The Great Depression

    A concise narrative that traces the economic collapse of the 1930s, the daily hardships faced by ordinary Americans, and the political and social responses that reshaped the nation; it explains how the crisis unfolded, how local communities and migrants coped, how Hoover and especially the Roosevelt administration and the New Deal altered federal power, relief, labor, and financial regulation, and how those changes produced enduring shifts in American politics, institutions, and popular expectations of government.
