What are some good books on the Great Depression?
gpt
The Lords Of Finance- won a Pulitzer Prize.  It breaks down the economic history of the federal reserve and western economics starting from the 19th century on forward through the Great Depression.  By the time you get to the Great Depression in the book it all feels inevitable and that optimistic fervor that drove America’s roaring 20s was of a nation ignoring the realities of the world outside its borders after WW1.  The Treaty of Versailles was the most devastating agreements in the history of our world.  You will also learn about the real world secret wealth society that saved the US from complete collapse back in 1907 as well as the banking heroics of JP Morgan.  It also covers some of the interesting aspects of Hoover and his role.  How he was a beacon of warning in the mid 20s, but resulted in being the biggest representative of American poverty in the 20th century. A fantastic read that flows through the fingers in a few days.
