Overview

The Great Depression--1929 through 1939 when the United States and the world were economically crippled--is still not fully understood. There are numerous theories on its causes and on what stimulated the recovery. Here is a powerful new tool for the historian or economist. The legislative acts of Roosevelt's New Deal in their entirety accompany macroeconomic verification of what took place in the social and economic arenas. Each act is preceded by a summary of its provisions, focusing attention on the law as a whole. Economic statistics are provided for 1926 through 1946 as a frame of reference.
