Book Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), Franklin D. Roosevelt¿s New Deal program to help young, unemployed men during the Great Depression by hiring them to work in a mammoth ¿forest army,¿ completed thousands of vital conservation projects nationwide. They were paid just $30 a month¿a dollar a day. In the Catskills, at CCC camps in Ulster County, Greene County, Schoharie County, Delaware County, and Broome County, city boys and their country cousins, under the tutelage of local woodsmen and mechanics, wielded axes, mattocks and shovels to transform the Catskills in subtle and significant ways, planting millions of trees (more than 3 1⁄2 million in Delaware County in 1934 alone), fighting stream and soil erosion, and building roads, fire towers, hiking trails, ski trails, and the campsites at North Lake, Woodland Valley, Devil¿s Tombstone and Beaverkill. This new history, illustrated with more than 100 photographs and maps, tells their story--who they were, where they came from, what they did, and the legacy they left behind.

If she hustled hard enough, she could stay ahead of the game—that was her life story, always trying to make a dollar outta fifteen cent...

Macroeconomics, Second Edition, Volume I
Author: David G. Tuerck
Publisher: Business Expert Press
ISBN: 1947098772
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
This book, produced in two volumes, takes an integrative approach to the study of macroeconomics. In that respect, the book brings the different strands of macroeconomics together into a single approach under which economic agents strive to make rational choices but, while doing so, sometimes misconstrue the data available to them. The result is imbalances between aggregate supply and aggregate demand that can cause economic contractions. These imbalances may be self-correcting, or they may become long-lived and require government intervention through the exercise of corrective monetary and fiscal policy. Volume I examines economic behavior on the assumption that economic agents correctly interpret the data before them. It thus takes a “micro foundations” approach, under which aggregate supply equals aggregate demand. Volume II allows for the possibility of myopia on the part of economic agents and for the resulting economic malperformance that can result from this myopia. It examines the short-run disparities between aggregate supply and aggregate demand that can result from ill-informed choices of individual economic agents or from a misdiagnosis of economic data by policy makers. It concludes with a review of recent U.S. economic policy. The book aims to correct a good number of misconceptions that bedevil economic policymaking—among them the idea that protracted economic contractions necessarily call for increased government spending and lower taxes. It challenges the common understanding that government deficits raise interest rates and “crowd out” private investment.
