"""What [the book] elaborates and makes it worth using, are the differences between countries and, what I consider its main value, the importance of the longer-term view. The interaction between the Great Depression and agriculture becomes clearer, better understood and seen by analysing it from a historical perspective –in this case from the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Moreover, it applies the historical approach also to the development of agriculture itself and, therefore, it brings to the forefront the role of the maturation of agriculture and its declining profitability, as well as its importance for the nation-state."" Anton Schuurman, Historia Agraria ""The book provides...both an extremely valuable contribution to the economic history of agriculture in the Great Depression and an invitation to social and cultural historians to shed more light on the experiences, the struggles and the perceptions of rural people trying to come to terms with the repercussions of the crisis on their livelihoods, and to global, comparative and transnational historians to investigate the interconnections and currents on which the knowledge to combat the Great Depression traveled.""
