The Great Crash of 1929 profoundly disrupted the United States'
confident march toward becoming the world's superpower. The
breakneck growth of 1920s America--with its boom in automobiles,
electricity, credit lines, radio, and movies--certainly presaged
a serious recession by the decade's end, but not a depression.
The totality of the collapse shocked the nation, and its duration
scarred generations to come.

In this lucid and fast-paced account of the cataclysm,
award-winning writer Charles R. Morris pulls together the
intricate threads of policy, ideology, international hatreds, and
sheer individual cantankerousness that finally pushed the world
economy over the brink and into a depression. While Morris
anchors his narrative in the United States, he also fully
investigates the poisonous political atmosphere of postwar Europe
to reveal how treacherous the environment of the global economy
was. It took heroic financial mismanagement, a glut-induced
global collapse in agricultural prices, and a self-inflicted
crash in world trade to cause the Great Depression.
