The Fat Years and the Lean (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book delves into the economic and political climate in the United States after World War I, arguing that capitalism, as it emerged at the end of the war, was moribund. Viewing the period through the lens of political patterns, the author traces the decline of this economic system and the impact it had on the struggles against monopolies and economic inequality. Drawing from a multitude of sources, the author illuminates the ways in which the conscious and unconscious drive towards socialism was shaping the national landscape. This insightful analysis provides a crucial understanding of how the confluence of economic instability and political machinations set the stage for the Great Depression and shaped the 20th-century American experience.
