About this ebook
Global Recovery Lags delves into the prolonged economic stagnation following the Great Depression, exploring why a robust global recovery didn't materialize until World War II. This work analyzes global GDP trends from 1929-1939, emphasizing the ineffectiveness of international cooperation and constraints of domestic policies. A key insight is that adherence to deflationary policies by many nations hindered recovery. The book's value lies in its examination of the interconnected global economy during the interwar period, highlighting how international trade and monetary policies influenced national recovery prospects.
The book's approach is analytical, using macroeconomic data, trade statistics, and government reports to support its arguments. It begins by setting the stage with the economic imbalances preceding the 1929 crash. Subsequent chapters investigate the failures of the gold standard, the impact of protectionist measures like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, and the consequences of fiscal austerity.
The book concludes by examining the conditions leading up to World War II, showing how rearmament spending finally spurred economic growth under dire circumstances.
