But that's quite different from saying "The ''New Ordeal'' describes the period of time between 1929 and 1949, when the American economy finally recovered from the Crash of '29." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 11:32, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Couple points here: The Jewkes' book (either edition; the second edition differs in that it has 35 or 40 additonal pages that deal with the English economy up to about 1960) does not support RobS conculsions. RobS origninal article is about the U. S. economy. Please explain how that supports your argument?--[[User:Irat|Irat]] 12:04, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
