Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This re-issue of the 1984 work includes a new preface. The saga of the failed town of Alderson, Alberta illustrates the greater story of drought and depopulation in the prairie dry belt of southwestern Alberta and eastern Saskatchewan from the turn of the century through the mid 1900s. According to Jones, a professor of history from Calgary, the doomed farmer exodus from the core of the continent, "part of a massive North American tragedy," was encouraged by boosterism, lightning expansion, and miscalculation. A substantial appendix lists population data and crop prices. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Next Year Country written by Jean Burnet and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1951-12-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of the problems of social organization in a rural community of Alberta, a drought-afflicted wheat-growing area centring round the town of Hanna is described as it appeared to the sociologist in 1946. Dr Burnet examines geographical and economic conditions in Hanna, and shows how farming practices, ways of living, and modes of tenure brought into the area from more humid regions proved ill adapted to the dry belt and delayed economic adjustment. In turn, the difficulties in the realm of economics had adverse social and cultural consequences in both the households and the community as a whole. The Hanna area was chosen for study, though not altogether typical, because it revealed more clearly than other areas not so severely hit by the drought of the 1930s the kind of disturbances within the Alberta social structure which made possible the rise of the Social Credit movement.
Download or read book Interwar Unemployment in International Perspective written by Barry J. Eichengreen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High unemployment has been one of the most disturbing features of the economy of the 1980s. For a precedent, one must look to the interwar period and in particular to the Great Depression of the 1930s. It follows that recent years have been marked by a resurgence of interest amongst academics in interwar unemployment. The debate has been contentious. There is nothing like the analysis of a period which recorded rates of un employment approaching 25 per cent to highlight the differences between competing schools of thought on the operation of labour markets. Along with historians, economists whose objective is to better understand the causes, character and consequences of contemporary unemployment and sociologists seeking to understand contemporary society's perceptions and responses to joblessness have devoted increasing attention to this his torical episode. Like many issues in economic history, this one can be approached in a variety of ways using different theoretical approaches, tools of analysis and levels of disaggregation. Much of the recent literature on the func tioning of labour markets in the Depression has been macroeconomic in nature and has been limited to individual countries. Debates from the period itself have been revived and new questions stimulated by modem research have been opened. Many such studies have been narrowly fo cused and have failed to take into account the array of historical evidence collected and anal~sed by contemporaries or reconstructed and re- inter preted by historians.
