In Politics in Hard Times, Peter Gourevitch explores the common political factors that shape economic policy choices. He focuses on three periods of economic crisis—1873–1896, 1929–1949, and 1971 to the present—and compares policy choices made in Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United States.
