Overview

Volume III surveys the economic history of the United States, Canada, and the
Caribbean during the twentieth century. Its chapters trace the century's major
events, notably the Great Depression and the two world wars, as well as its
long-term trends, such as changing technology, the rise of the corporate
economy, and the development of labor law. The book also discusses agriculture,
population, labor markets, and urban and regional structural changes. Other
chapters examine inequality and poverty, trade and foreign relations, government
regulation and the public sector, and banking and finance.
