reviewed Colony and Empire: The Capitalist Transformation of the American West on March 14, 2007 Colony and Empire: The Capitalist Transformation of the American West
Garrett does a great job of explaining the bubbles arising from WW1 and its aftermath, the credit fueled 20's and the forces behind the Great Depression. The whole thing gets bogged down in mind-numbing detail for about the last 1/4 of the book. My suggestion is to read it until it tickles your boredom bone and then stop. The first 2/3 is very informative.
