An in-depth look at the lessons from one of the worst times in America's financial history

Are
you worried about the economy? You're certainly not alone. According to
most economists, the turmoil that Americans will face over the next
four years will be the roughest financial times since the Great
Depression-and many are looking backward to learn how to survive an
ongoing and sustained economic downturn.

Lessons from the Great Depression For Dummies
takes a historic look at the events and circumstances leading up to the
1929 crash and subsequent depression, then the economic
aftermath-particularly the economic response. This book paints a
historic picture of those times and examines not only the critical
failures that led to a decade of depression, but also the positive and
negative aftershocks that created the modern American lifestyle. You'll
see how the lessons we learned have shaped today's political and
financial landscape-and how they'll continue to be part of the American
experience for future generations.
