Abstract
The subject matter of “Understanding 1929–1933” is compelling, and its authorship is promising. Explaining the onset, the severity, and the duration of the Great Depression is almost as central a task to macroeconomics as is the study of viral epidemics to medicine. It is promising to find these issues addressed again by Dr. Schwartz, who has helped to combine imagination with the finest NBER standards of documentation in past landmarks on the growth and fluctuations of the British economy and the monetary history of the United States.
