within the volume and connect the dots between them. Readers will

Depression, assess the legislative and executive actions that
attempted to deal with the economic crisis, and perceive the
differences between the fiscal ideas of Presidents Hoover and
Roosevelt. Presents documents illustrating the Great Depression
