Summary: "Prosperity Decade is one of a series of nine volumes designed to cover the economic history of the United States from colonial times to the present. This volume is a survey of the important aspects of the period from the entrance of the United States into World War I to the tragic economic crash of 1929 which ended an era. Emphasis is upon the pattern of economic forces and not upon the "froth and turmoil" of these thirteen significant years." -- from the Mississippi Valley Historical Review.
