It is an accepted truism that the Great Depression did more for the
development of modern economics than any other single event. Some
of the greatest economists of the twentieth century were inspired
to go into the field as a direct result of their experiences during
this period. This book explores the most prominent economic
explanations of the Great Depression and how it affected the lives,
experiences, and subsequent thinking of economists who lived
through that era. Presented in interview format, this collection of
conversations with Moses Abramovitz, Morris Adelman, Milton
Friedman, Albert Hart, Charles Kindleberger, Wassily Leontief, Paul
Samuelson, Anna Schwartz, James Tobin, Herbert Stein and Victor
Zarnowitz provides a record of their reflections on the economics
of the Great Depression and on the major events which occurred
during those critical years. This volume is also another chapter in
the legacy of the interwar generation of economists and is intended
as a token of gratitude for the contributions they have made to the
economics profession. Randall Parker has given us a window into the
lives of these gifted scholars and an important glimpse into the
world that shaped them. Any student or scholar of economics will
find this homage to and record of the brightest voices to come out
of this critical time to be indispensable.
