The Depression of the 1930s chronicles the social, political, and economic upheaval that gripped the nation during the interwar years, presenting a richly documented account of how ordinary Australians endured mass unemployment, government austerity, and widespread social dislocation. Louis and Turner draw on a compelling range of primary sources — political debates, personal testimonies, and contemporary commentary — to reconstruct the human and institutional dimensions of an era that fundamentally reshaped Australian society.\n\nPart of the Problems in Australian History series, this volume argues that the Depression was not merely an economic event but a defining crucible of Australian political identity, exposing deep fault lines of class, ideology, and governance. The authors present contrasting perspectives and documentary evidence with scholarly precision, inviting readers to grapple with the contested causes and consequences of the crisis. The result is an indispensable resource for students and historians alike — one that leaves the lingering question of whether Australia truly learned the lessons the 1930s had to teach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210262716635,"sku":"2026200017379-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/88e7c76b-ac67-4d8f-9d40-0c7145191fcb.png?v=1788268319","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017379-secondhand-the-depression-of-the-1930s","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
