{"product_id":"hard-times-richard-striner-9798881800161","title":"Hard Times: Economic Depressions in America","description":"\u003ci\u003eHard Times\u003c\/i\u003e presents a comprehensive account of economic depressions in America, from colonial times to the \"great recession\" that began in 2008. Written in crisp prose for a general audience, the book synthesizes a narrative account--presenting the known facts about how particular depressions started, the effects upon people in different walks of life, the policy debates about what (if anything) to do in order to ameliorate the situation, and how these depressions ended--with analytical commentary on the economic patterns underlying and transcending depressions and the debates among economists and policymakers in regard to their causes. While these economic downturns have created suffering and hardship, Striner also conveys how Americans have always endured and rebounded from hard times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Striner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798881800161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Richard Striner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898564075775,"sku":"9798881800161","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e714659-bbec-4efc-a834-85c7b3c4c502.jpg?v=1721376602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-times-richard-striner-9798881800161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
