Summary

"While the Great Depression was indisputably a difficult period in American history, it did lead to certain developments that we still benefit from today. One for the most significant examples of this is Social Security, which helps a whole generation of retired Americans. The book offers a clear, concise description of the Great Depression--including both its causes and its effects."--, Publisher's website
