The World Economy and National Economies in the Interwar Slump: Edited By Theo Balderston: 9780333738641: Book: Business & Economics: eCampus.com

The functioning of the gold standard has recently been at the heart of explanations of the interwar depression, particularly as a result of the research of Barry Eichengreen and Peter Temin. In The World Economy and National Economies in the Interwar Slump the interaction between the gold standard and the Great Depression in seven countries is examined by an international team of economists and economic historians.
