Along the way, Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite....

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Ms. Rey because I liked her tenacity!
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Strange pronunciation of words like Maori, but pretty interesting use of Hawaiian style pigeon.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
It could happen!
Any additional comments?
I saw the movie after listening to the book, and it would have sucked if I dod not already know what was going on from the book.

The Great Contraction, 1929-1933 argued that the Federal Reserve could have stemmed the severity of the Depression, but failed to exercise its role of managing the monetary system and ameliorating banking panics. This edition of the original text includes a new preface by Anna Jacobson Schwartz, as well as a new introduction by the economist Peter Bernstein.

Very factual, but not exactly a page turner!
Revisado: 01-23-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No. It is good for what it is. It could be made more interesting by adding contemporary comparisons, but this would make the book lose its relevance over time.
Did A. C. Fellner do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Not Applicable
Could you see The Great Contraction, 1929-1933 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No, no chance!
Any additional comments?
Comparisons to competing Economic theories and practitioners would be interesting too.
