PSQ reviews AFGD

The current issue of Political Science Quarterly includes a review of America’s First Great Depression, written by Johann Neem of Western Washington University.  “Alasdair Roberts has written a thoughtful and timely book about how Americans in the past responded to global economic and political forces beyond their control. Roberts masterfully reinterprets the period for historians, but his goal is not primarily historical. Political scientists, policymakers, and citizens have much to learn from the economic crisis following 1837.”
