Recenzii
"Written from the perspective of a historian rather than a social scientist, its strengths lie in careful compilation of details from the archives and accurate summarization of the secondary literature, particularly that of the period." Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"...well-organized and clearly written....the best available comprehensive guide to the crucial problem of unemployment and public policy during the period....provide[s] us with a much better understanding of the unemployment problem between the wars and the revolution in economic thought and policy that it helped spawn." Gerard M. Koot, American Historical Review
"...this book is a delight and much needed....a first rate work...." Bentley Brinkerhoff Gilbert, Journal of Economic Literature
