The Great Depression was the greatest economic downturn in world history. In this program, Jeffrey Urbin of the Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum explores the rising unemployment, financial crisis, and other hardships that threatened social and economic order throughout the industrialized world.  What caused the Great Depression? What were the economic, social and emotional impacts of the Great Depression? How did the first 100 Days of the New Deal work?
