Summary: Don't Waste your time
Comment: This was a very hard to read, boring book that outlines the same basic principles for hundreds of pages. Don't bother - there are much better books out there.

Rating: 5
Summary: Rigorous scholarship, accessible and enjoyable read
Comment: I have never submitted a "reader's review" to Amazon, but have to add mine here after noting the one negative review below. All the other positive reviewers have it right. This book hits the mark and does exactly what it appears to be designed to do. It is accessible for a broad spectrum of readers, while maintaining a rigorous scholarly standard. And, amazingly, it is an enjoyable read, for both scholars AND graduate and undergraduate students (and maybe the intellectually curious non-fiction reader?). I hope the one rambling (and somewhat odd?) negative review will be dismissed by Amazon visitors. In my opinion, this is a book which should be read by anyone who wants to understand the complex forces and historical context which resulted in the Great Depression.

Summary: an interesting contribution
