Produktbeschreibung

The Roaring Twenties: Economic Boom and Bust by Oliver Shaw takes readers on a comprehensive journey through one of the most transformative decades in American history. Set against the backdrop of unprecedented economic growth, social upheaval, and technological innovation, the book delves into the economic boom that characterized the 1920s, exploring the rise of consumer culture, the stock market's meteoric rise, and the spread of mass production. It paints a vivid picture of the cultural shifts of the era, from the flapper and the Jazz Age to the increasing influence of mass media and advertising.

However, the book also highlights the darker side of the decadethe speculative excess, the growing wealth inequality, and the consequences of an economy built on borrowed money. As the stock market collapses in 1929, the book explores the devastating impact of the crash on millions of Americans, leading to the onset of the Great Depression. Through detailed historical analysis and compelling narratives, The Roaring Twenties: Economic Boom and Bust offers a balanced look at both the optimism and the eventual downfall of the period, providing crucial insights into the complex relationship between economic policies, societal changes, and the American Dream itself.
