Klappentext
The second edition of this successful and pioneering textbook takes a thematic approach to the subject, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of the historic development of economic issues in the United States. It provides both the theoretical foundations and historical background needed to gain an in-depth understanding of the American economy. Every chapter examines a specific topic, and the chapters are linked to each other to provide an overall view and to help students link events from the past to the modern day. The chronological approach is represented with a useful timeline as an appendix to show where the specific topics fit in the chronology. Chapter topics include: long-run causes of economic growth; economic history of income and wealth inequality; slavery, segregation, and discrimination; immigration and immigration policies; and an economic history of recessions and depressions.New to this edition:
