2019 Reprint of 1963 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. This book is an analysis of the causes of the Great Depression of 1929. The author concludes that the Depression was caused not by laissez-faire capitalism, but by government intervention in the economy. The author argues that the Hoover administration violated the tradition of previous American depressions by intervening in an unprecedented way and that the result was a disastrous prolongation of unemployment and depression so that a typical business cycle became a lingering disease.

Описание: A chronicle of perseverance and hope in the face of economic crises and political changeCharleston and the Great Depression tells many stories of the city during the 1930s—an era of tremendous want, hope, and change—through a collection of forty annotated primary documents, including letters, personal accounts, organizational reports, meeting minutes, speeches, photographs, oral history excerpts, and trial transcripts. Together these documents reveal the various ways in which ordinary lowcountry residents—largely excluded from formal politics—responded to the era’s economic and social crises and made for themselves their own “New Deal.”Arranged in chronological order, the documents include Mayor Burnet R. Maybank’s 1931 inaugural address, in which the thirty-two-year-old merchantturned- politician warned grimly of worsening hardship; the trial testimony of Benjamin Rivers, an African American worker executed by the state after being convicted of murdering a Charleston police officer; horror writer H. P. Lovecraft’s detailed walking tour of the city, in which the visiting New Englander painted a fascinating but romanticized portrait of Charleston that somehow managed to overlook the adversities facing the local population; and Susan Hamilton’s powerful and contradictory memories of her enslavement, gathered as part of the Federal Writers Project.While the Great Depression was an era of economic crises and political change it was also a period of great hope and possibility as Americans from across the political spectrum persevered through hard times, driven by the conviction that government power could and should be used to alleviate suffering and create opportunities to better people’s lives. These documents capture the voices of diverse Charleston residents—from farmers and dockworkers to students, ministers, public officials, and social workers—as they struggled and strove for a better city and a better country.

Описание: A groundbreaking contribution to the history of the ""long Civil Rights movement,"" Hammer and Hoe tells the story of how, during the 1930s and 40s, Communists took on Alabama's repressive, racist police state to fight for economic justice, civil and political rights, and racial equality. The Alabama Communist Party was made up of working people without a Euro-American radical political tradition: devoutly religious, semi-literate black laborers, sharecroppers, and a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, housewives, youth, and renegade liberals. In this book, Robin D. G. Kelley reveals how the experiences and identities of these people from Alabama's farms, factories, mines, kitchens, and city streets shaped the Party's tactics and unique political culture. The result was a remarkably resilient movement forged in a racist world that had little tolerance for radicals.After discussing the book's origins and impact in a new preface written for this twenty-fifth-anniversary edition, Kelley reflects on what a militantly antiracist, radical movement in the heart of Dixie might teach contemporary social movements confronting rampant inequality, police violence, mass incarceration, and neoliberalism.
Two dramatic cultural revolutions coincided with the Great Depression. Motivated by a struggling economy, America's political center shifted left. A slew of technological marvels turned the nation modern. Today, the former gets the most attention, but the latter has had the greatest influence on twenty-first century America.
Despite a soaring unemployment rate and radical initiatives designed to put Americans back to work, industry modernized the nation. Across dozens of major industries, in a short time span, a surge in new technologies transformed American culture. Compare an automobile, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a bus, or a locomotive made in 1929 to those built in 1939, or to post-war models of the 1940s. In each case, the latter designs bear a closer resemblance to its twenty-first century counterparts than their 1920s predecessors. There are countless other excellent examples, not just in transportation and home appliances, but in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, home construction, material sciences, packaging, industrial processes, and manufacturing equipment. Nor were these mere prototypes. During the 1930s highly automated carmakers built 25 million automobiles and appliance makers 17 million refrigerators. Throughout the 1930s, food producers sold billions of canned goods annually. At the end of the decade Dupont introduced nylon stockings selling 64 million pairs their first year.
How an abundance of new high-tech gadgets coexisted with a dismal business climate deserves a better explanation. Towards that goal, Blind Spot emphasizes the power of US manufacturing, reveals the true motivation behind the New Deal, exposes the follies of the central banking system, and unmasks the irrationalities of popular economic indicators.
