Essays on the Great Depression Paperback - 2004
by Ben S. Bernanke
Few periods in history compare to the Great Depression. Stock market crashes, bread lines, bank runs, ad wild currency speculation were worldwide phenomena--all with the storm clouds of war gathering ominously in the background. Here Bernanke has gathered together his essays on why the Great Depression was so devastating and lasted so long. The essays in this volume present a uniquely coherent view of the economic causes and world-wide propagation of the depression.
First line
TO UNDERSTAND THE GREAT DEPRESSION is the Holy Grail of macro-economics.
From the rear cover
"This influential body of work is a significant contribution to our understanding the depth and persistence of the Great Depression.... This book will become a standard reference in the field of business cycle research."--Randall Kroszner, University of Chicago
"Bernanke's work has had a powerful impact on the economics profession, alerting macroeconomists to the advantages of historical analysis, and a number of important figures (James Hamilton, Steve Cecchetti, for example), inspired by his work, have followed him into the field. The nine essays form a remarkably coherent whole."--Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley, and author of "Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System"
"Collecting these essays together will provide a single source for students to find Bernanke's substantial contributions.... His papers demonstrate conclusively that the international view of the great depression has impressive explanatory power."--Peter Temin, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyFrom the jacket flap
