Extract

This book offers a short account of the Great Depression in Europe, aimed at historians without a strong training in economics. The introduction sets out four key questions around which the book is organized: What were the origins of the Depression? Why was it so severe? How was recovery effected, and was it sustainable? and What were the implications of the recovery for political relations in and between nation-states?
