Review
“Economic and quantitative in its focus...The fullest available analysis of any American depression and is indispensable for all students of late 19th-century American economic history.”–Choice
“The book admirably succeeds in attaining its main purpose: `to explain the principal forces generating the depressed level of economic activity in the 1890s.' But, despite the author's modest claims, it does a great deal more. A careful consideration of the data and the analysis should raise a whole series of questions which transcend the limited purview of `economic history'.”–Labor History
