Über diesen Titel
Necessity is the mother of invention. It’s also the father of character.
In history class, we’ve been taught that the Great Depression was all about crashing stock markets, snaking breadlines, and ecological disasters. We learned that FDR tried to put it right with the New Deal, but it was only World War II that finally succeeded in revitalizing the American economy. But that’s not the whole story.
The “Greatest Generation” didn’t earn that title by sitting around hoping things would get better. The hard times of the Great Depression led to a surge in innovation that we never learned about in school. Did you know that refrigerator sales spiked during the 1930s? Did you know this was the decade that brought us blockbuster monster movies and animated films? Did you know these were the years many families adopted their first dog? Those are just a handful of the stories you were never taught. This “tapas menu” take on the 1930s shows that bad times create the most surprising outcomes.
