Description

This collection of essays by an international team of contributors compares and contrasts the economic policy of different countries during the Depression era. The contributors each explore how far economic policy in the country in question was shaped by the determination of governments to retain certain orthodox features of economic policy which did not always meet the urgent social and economic requirements of the day.
