{"product_id":"the-great-depression-benjamin-roth-9781586489014","title":"The Great Depression: A Diary","description":"When the stock market crashed in 1929, Benjamin Roth was a young lawyer in Youngstown, Ohio. After he began to grasp the magnitude of what had happened to American economic life, he decided to set down his impressions in his diary.\u003cp\u003eThis collection of those entries reveals another side of the Great Depression--one lived through by ordinary, middle-class Americans, who on a daily basis grappled with a swiftly changing economy coupled with anxiety about the unknown future. Roth's depiction of life in time of widespread foreclosures, a schizophrenic stock market, political unrest and mass unemployment seem to speak directly to readers today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1586489011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781586489014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Benjamin Roth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051583533311,"sku":"9781586489014","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af5d384d-faf4-4007-8ad0-c65418ffd00d.jpg?v=1685013950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-depression-benjamin-roth-9781586489014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
