Aprašymas

Utopian Movements and Ideas of the Great Depression explores several lesser known movements for change and reform in the Great Depression Era of the 1930s. It includes studies of a few communal societies, proposals for reform, and analyses of several books written in the 1930s that propose solutions to the nation's economic ills. Arguably, America has been a Utopian experiment from its beginning; these movements and ideas of the 1930s were the latest manifestation of that experiment to that time. Despite their lack of obvious success, they represent an important American idea-- that an average person could devise solutions to society's problems. They embody the American belief in progress and the power of the individual.
