Description

The Slump Britain in the Great Depression by John Stevenson and Chris Cook The 1930s created their own legend, with mass unemployment, dole queues, and the means test leaving a lasting impact. This celebrated book questions the social and political myths of "the devil's decade" and examines the parallels between then and now. Stevenson and Cook explore issues that remain pressing today, including financial collapse and mass unemployment. Their new afterword highlights striking similarities between the 'slump' of the 1930s and the 'crunch' of the 21st century. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most significant periods in British history, shedding light on the social and political factors that shaped the nation during this time.
