Comprising a series of unique and informative interviews, this
original book focuses on the evolution and current state of the
economic literature on the Great Depression. Renowned economists
assess the status of the remaining debates, evaluate what
economists do and do not know about the economics of the interwar
era, and examine the new directions economic research is taking in
attempting to better understand this important economic epoch.
Every generation of economists tries to understand the Depression,
but the interwar generation of economists who lived through it left
several issues unresolved. Often scholars from the generation that
follows a particular event are the ones who provide fresh and
disinterested evaluations of the historical period. We are now at
that point in our evaluation of the economics of the interwar era.
This book contains interviews with 12 American economists who have
made substantial contributions to our understanding of the
economics of the Great Depression: Peter Temin, Ben Bernanke, James
Hamilton, Robert Lucas, Lee Ohanian, Christina Romer, Barry
Eichengreen, Stephen Cecchetti, James Butkiewicz, Michael Bordo,
Charles Calomiris and Allan Meltzer. Together and individually,
they provide an enlightening account of what we have learned about
the Great Depression from the post-World War II generation of
economists. This accessible, highly readable book continues and
extends the discussion of the Great Depression, appealing to
students and scholars of both economics and history.
