The European Economy between the Wars

by Charles H. Feinstein, Peter Temin, Gianni Toniolo

The European Economy Between the Wars provides an authoritative economic history of Europe in the inter-war period. Placing the Great Depression of 1929-33 and the associated financial crisis at the center of the narrative, the authors comprehensively examine the lead-up to and the consequences of the depression and recovery. The basic approach in this textbook is chronological, and the style is clear and straightforward, accessible to students in a range of disciplines.

I'm starting to get the hang of economic history books, 50 pages of boring tables and then the exciting part.
