Technological Innovation and the Great Depression

By Richard Szostak

Book Overview

I have always been intrigued by the enigma of the Great Depression, perhaps because my parents often told tales of their experience of the 1930s in drought-stricken western Canada. Only in the late 1980s, though, did I begin to develop the theoretical approach of this book. I was helped at an early stage by a paper presentation at Northwestern University, and the lengthy conversations with Joel Mokyr and Lou Cain which that entailed.
