Between the world wars, unemployment spread throughout the
industrialized world like a disease. Focusing on the United States,
Britain, and Europe, Matt Perrry compares and contrasts popular
attitudes and the government response toward unemployment.Looking
beyond statistics and economic cycles, Perry investigates the human
impact of unemployment. He uncovers the experience of being jobless
from the perspective of those who lived through it, their employers
and their communities. He uses oral history, memoirs, literary
accounts, and newspaper articles to reveal the reality of
unemployment.Perry argues that the scale of the crisis has been
minimized by historianswho have tended to emphasize that prolonged
unemployment was the problem of the distressed fringe.Finally,
Perry argues that the lessons of the 1930s have direct relevance
today since the structural problems of industrial capitalism remain
inherent.
