Blurb -
"In the early 1920s, young lawyer Benjamin Roth settled in Youngstown, Ohio, a booming Midwestern industrial town. Times were good - until the stock market crash of 1929. After two years of crisis, Roth began to grasp the magnitude of what had happened to American economic life. He set out to record his impressions in a diary - a document that would grow to span several volumes over more than a decade.
Roth's perceptions and experiences have a chilling similarity to those of our own era. Fearful of inflation and skeptical of big government, he yearned for signs of true recovery, and eventually formed his own theories of how a prudent person might survive hard times. Edited by James Ledbetter, editor of Slate's 'Big Money', and Roth's son, Daniel B. Roth, this book reveals another side of the Great Depression - one lived through by ordinary, middle-class Americans, who on a daily basis grappled with a swiftly changing economy coupled with anxiety about the unknown future."
