CHOICE Review

This timely, erudite collection from a symposium inspired initially by the desire to commemorate Austria's traumatic crisis of February 1934 provides nation-focused studies of governmental responses to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Predominantly European in perspective (3 of the 13 essays deal with Austria), the editors include studies specifically referring to Brazil, the US, India, Japan, and China, as well as continent-straddling Turkey. The overall result is stimulating, and the essays emphasize clarity as well as content. Inescapably, perhaps, several authors use the concept of totalitarianism as a point of reference, despite doubts about its efficacy as an analytic tool. The various governments' responses to the crisis become apparent, as do their commonalities, irrespective of party and ideology. All regimes sought economic relief from the Depression through some mixture of public and private sector activities, whether they were promoted as fascist, socialist, nationalist, or democratic. None sought refuge in a continuation of the free market notions of the 1920s. While gaps inevitably remain, this volume provides much for all postsecondary readers. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
