<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When the stock market crashed in 1929, Benjamin Roth was a young lawyer in Youngstown, Ohio. After he began to grasp the magnitude of what had happened to American economic life, he decided to set down his impressions in his diary.<p>This collection of those entries reveals another side of the Great Depression--one lived through by ordinary, middle-class Americans, who on a daily basis grappled with a swiftly changing economy coupled with anxiety about the unknown future. Roth's depiction of life in time of widespread foreclosures, a schizophrenic stock market, political unrest and mass unemployment seem to speak directly to readers today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>James Ledbetter</b> is the editor of The Big Money, Slate.com's website on business and economics. <p/><b>Daniel B. Roth</b>, son of Benjamin Roth, is the chairman of the law firm of Roth, Blair, Roberts, Strasfeld & Lodge in Youngstown, Ohio.
