The Depression of the Nineties: An Economic History by Charles Hoffman (review)

This work originated as a Columbia Pro) thesis in the early •95os. It has not been revised but the author has supplied an extended prefatory note which is intended to account for recent studies and more sophisticated methods of statistical analysis. This format, while somewhat cumbersome, may provide a means of rehabilitating the forgotten but worthy thesis. Professor Hoffman uses the opportunity to re-examine his original effort, and while he not surprisingly concludes that his major findings have stood the test of time, he nevertheless points out several weaknesses.
