A History of the U.S. Economy in the 20th Century
Each lecture in A History of the U.S. Economy in the 20th Century focuses exclusively on one decade to achieve a clear understanding of economic developments and outside influences on the U.S. economy. In some cases, well-defined events like the creation of the Federal Reserve or war in Vietnam are examined. In other lectures, larger societal shifts are discussed, such as the evolving role of women in the economy and changing consumption patterns.
The miraculous story of the 20th-century U.S. economy unfolds with remarkable clarity and with valuable guidance for the 21st century.
