An Economic History of the United States : Connecting the Present with the Past Paperback / softback
by Mark V. (California State University, Sacramento, d, AL, USA) Siegler
Paperback / softback
Description
This pioneering textbook takes a thematic approach to the subject, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of historic economic issues in the United States.
Siegler takes a thematic approach, and provides both the theoretical foundations and historical background needed to gain an in-depth understanding of the subject.
Every chapter examines a specific topic, and the chapters are linked to each other to provide an overall view.
The chronological approach is represented with a useful timeline as an appendix to show where the specific topics fit in the chronology.
Chapter topics include: long-run causes of economic growth; economic history of income and wealth inequality; slavery, segregation, and discrimination; immigration and immigration policies; and an economic history of recessions and depressions.
This book is ideally suited as a primary text for undergraduate courses in US economic history, as well as suitable courses on history degree programmes.
