The American Economic History Reader: Documents and Readings
"This is an extremely useful reader in American economic history. The well-picked selections include many contemporary documents and important recent journal articles, as well as excellent introductory material. Particularly useful is that about one-half the volume is devoted to twentieth-century monetary and fiscal issues."—Stanley L. Engerman, editor ofFinance, Intermediaries, and Economic Development "Spanning three centuries, this fine collection of primary and secondary writings spurns the trendy and ephemeral in favor of documents and essays of enduring value that engage the major issues and actors. An excellent sourcebook for courses in American economic history and historiography."—David B. Sicilia, co-author ofConstructing Corporate America: History, Politics, Culture
